Great plot plods along

I liked the story line enough to put up with the drama princess…but she didn’t get smarter and grow up. A story full of the most annoying cliches – I don’t like writing bad reviews…but I literally yelled at the princess twice and skipped over her pity monologue a few times as well. I can’t..
how bad this is

The premise of the book was splendidly adventurous, and the author puts apparently extensive research into the life of Cleopatra to excellent use. There are playful nods to the cultures present in each setting, so most of them come across as very real. The characters are very established in their roles, so first impressions remain..
pick a different title! This is someone’s poor attempt at writing weak porn. And… it’s a series! No thanks.
