Ramses: The Son of Light (Ramses #1)

I was hoping for some actual history when I picked this up.. thinking it was a series that might move through Egyptian history, which I know very little about.
I know enough to know they didn't have Criossants though,very silly. The author also decided to take a one off line in the Illad that they passed through Egypt on the way home and turned it into a court visit that lasted years... and included Homer himself (a
bout 300 years before he was born, give or take).
So we don't have history, but maybe its a good story? nope. Apparently the entire 5 book story is just about Ramses.. this book is just his life before he was Pharaoh. And is the the most perfect person in the history of Earth. There are like 10 vignettes show how amazing he is at absolutely everything.. its repetitive, and not very interesting. By the end I was almost rooting for his annoying scheming older brother to win.
Hard pass on the rest of the series... glad I only got the one.
