Relation Concering Books I, the Sun
From palace coups in the lost city of Hattusas to treachery in the Egyptian court of Tutankhamun, I, the Sun, the saga of the Hittite king Suppiluliumas, rings with authenticity and the passion of a world that existed fourteen hundred years before the birth of Christ. They called him Great King, Favorite of the Storm God, the Valiant. He conquered more than forty nations and brought fear and war to the very doorstep of Eighteenth Dynasty Egypt, but he could not conquer the one woman he truly loved.Rating Regarding Books I, the Sun

Since history is one of my first and most cherished loves, I am rather picky when seeking the historical fiction story. Its not because I dont enjoy a great story, its because I want to read the work of authors that cared enough to really do their homework when it comes to describing people, places and events somewhere in our past. Janet Morris took me on a journey that I have rarely experienced. Be prepared to stay up late at night and grab moments in the day until you help The Sun mount hisThis book is written like an autobiography of the Bronze Age Hittite king Suppiluliumas. Going in I knew absolutely nothing of the Hittites or much about the period. However, I, The Sun does not treat the reader as if they should already know about this time period and it keeps everything very clear and easy to understand and follow.The first thing I realized with the book is that Janet Morris's prose are outstanding. Seriously, this is one of the most well-crafted books I've ever read. The
I had been looking forward to reading this for a while and I was not disappointed. This book is superb!Based on actual events (save one character) this story recounts the life of Suppiluliumas, King of the Hittites, favourite of the Storm God, and empire builder. Told from the perspective of the king himself it is an exciting, moving and in some places heart-rending story of the adolescent and angry prince who survives court intrigue, treachery, heartbreak and war to lead his people to a golden

This is a pretty epic read. You might not want to start it unless you have time to finish it because I imagine most people devour this book in one setting. I, The Sun is intense, gripping, and satisfying. Suppiluliumas is an amazing character.
Review for I, The SunI am not a reader of biographies. I find them boring and dry as they will put me to sleep faster than any other book genre will. I started this one because it was a Janet Morris book. I love Janet, she is one of the early fantasy authors I remember reading as an impressionable teenager. That being said, I have to admit right off the bat to being a bit intimidated by the sheer size of this book. Impressively daunting. Being a novice history lover, I hiked up my pants and
Made me think of Wilbur Smith!
In this age of formula fiction and uber-mass market storytelling, historical fiction has become the instrument of the romance market. A hundred romances set in medieval Scotland or Renaissance Italy, or Victorian England. It is the mainstay of a class of fiction that is as prolific as it is average.And that is profoundly disappointing to me. I love history. I love reading historical nonfiction and I itch to read fiction that can bring history to life. It could beit should bethe greatest fiction
