This was the first historical fiction book I’ve read and I absolutely loved it. As opposed to reading straight facts, historical fiction really adds personality and excitement to the story. I was intruiged with every character in ‘CLeopatra’s Daughter’ and found the book to be action packed. Though the Red Eagle is fictitious, this character is what really adds to the story line. Overall, a great read!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It was one of my favorite reads of last year.

Care– I know, that’s why I didn’t get to this right away when I recieved it. It was always high up in my TBR pile. Hope you enjoy it when you do get to it!

Jill — I’ll have to look into Anthony Everitt. I don’t believe I’ve heard of this author. I do know Mary Renault, though, and currently have a couple books of hers in my TBR from roughly that same time period.

Aarti — Cleopatra is only featured at the beginning of this book, if that makes you more interested in reading this. Her daughter Selene definitely seems to have had an interesting life!

I really need to read this one. I’ve had it for months and I have no excuse at this point as to why I have yet to read it.

I echo these same thoughts! Every time I see a rev of this, I think that I want to read and yet other books keep bullying their way into my infrontface posn and I never remember this when I should. I really think I would like this. But it is starting to be a reminder of that ol problem ‘too many books!!!’

I have this book and want to read it, but other books keep intruding. I love that historical period though (loved the books Cicero and Augustus, both by Anthony Everitt) and look forward to getting to this one!

I’ve heard so many good things about this book! I really need to read some Michelle Moran. I don’t know why, but Cleopatra doesn’t really appeal to me. Her daughter sounds much more interesting, though
