Welcome to Litsy!

Finished this re-read last night for #BookedInTime and Wow! talk about trusting no one, especially family!

Cleopatra was definitely a force to be reckoned with; and if she wasn't forced to hitch her train to Marc Antony bc men wouldn't be lead be a mere woman, all roads would've lead to Alexandria instead of Rome.

For the second time this book left the impression that Cleopatra's great love was not Antony but Julius Caesar.

Darkness, cold stone under her fingertips, shadows dancing on the walls, torches flickering in the downdraught of the tunnels.

Loved this book! Clued me in on my husband‘s fascination with one of the most bad-ass women in history💜💜 And the cover😍

I have always been intrigued by Cleopatra, and thus found myself thoroughly enjoying this book. It does indulge into intricate details to help deliver this brilliant and riveting story, but not all of it is historically plausible. Overall, a good read and a glorious journey to Ancient Egypt!
