I originally picked up this book to help complete my ABC challenge for this year, and found an enjoyable story. This deals with Cleopatra just before her "death" and a couple of years onward.

The only criticism I have is that at times the book is too long. I got bored at some points because it went slow, then the end went by in a flash. I found it could've been set up a bit better. It was also a bit difficult to keep track of characters.

Overall a good read and one I'll keep on my shelf for the time being.
