Book #13: Sphinx's Princess, by Esther Friesner

I discovered Esther Friesner in 2010, with "Nobody's Princess" and "Nobody's Prize", both of which I very much enjoyed. I was really pleased to find "Sphinx's Princess" and "Sphinx's Queen" on the shelves when I still worked at the Book Cabal, and then it was simply a matter of getting a library card. ;)

( I do love spoiler cutting for historical fiction... )

8/10 for historical accuracy, creative use of character development, being about the Amarna Period, and included a map (even though Egypt is the one remaining place in the ANE I can still draw by heart).
