Description



A lush, unputdownable novel about the legendary Cleopatra. Discover the woman behind the myth, in this epic and opulent novel, perfect for fans of Jennifer Saint, Madeline Miller, Philippa Gregory and Alison Weir.
...................

A young queen.

Consecrated at birth as a royal goddess, Cleopatra learns early on from her father's experience that to rule means to fight. Politically astute, her deep love for Egypt means she'll do everything in her power to retain its autonomy from the all-devouring Romans.

A great emperor.

Julius Caesar is a legendary warrior whose might helped secure the Egyptian throne for Cleopatra's father. Years later, when he encounters the now Queen of Egypt, it is more than a meeting of rulers - it is a meeting of souls.

Together they could have ruled the world.

In Julius, Cleopatra finds the first person who challenges and respects her fiercely brilliant mind, who understands her duty and shares her passionate nature. Their union, forged in conflict, seems unbreakable, but are the bonds binding them to their countries even stronger?

Yet in a choice between love and duty, only one can win.

Decent feminist retelling

Overall this is a good retelling of cleopatras time with Julius, however it is done from a predominantly feminist lens. At times Julius Caesar comes across as whiny, childish, and moronic. All in an attempt to make cleopatra the star. It seemed like the author did not want them to have an even relationship and it’s more so cleopatra pulling a husk around and claiming it to be Caesar. Many of the other female characters are fleshed out better and cleopatra comes off as all knowing and in control. I just wish that Julius Caesar was giving more personality and life. When he was stabbed to death it was almost a mercy. The narration was wonderful and if you want a story about cleopatra being a boss then this is for you. But Caesar could have been replaced with male 1 and it would have been the same story.
