I have long been a lover of the person and history of Cleopatra, including her subsequent children. I've read both fiction and non-fiction tales of both Cleopatra and Cleopatra Selene.

I think this is the first non-fiction book that I'm reviewing. It's not that I don't like non-fiction books. No, I do enjoy them. Especially if they're about Egyptian mythology. And this one was fantastic. I almost finished it in one time. I do know quite a lot about ancient Egypt, if I do say so my...

An interesting light into a little known character--Cleopatra and Mark Anthony's daughter, Cleopatra Selene. I liked it overall, but found the pacing of the romance a bit difficult. (Dec 2011)

I enjoyed reading this. It was refreshing to finally immerse myself in a well written book. For some reason, I did feel the end to be rushed and somewhat bittersweet. However, the descriptions came alive to such a degree that I felt I was inside the book. It was also all kinds of amazing to read a b...
