" A historical novel about Cleopatra Selene, Cleopatra's daughter by Marcus Antonius. The character of Cleopatra is feisty and feminist, which may or may not be in keeping with the time, but this is quite enjoyable. "
" Very well written book. I found this historical fiction fascinating. Audio was very well done and I almost felt like I was watching it. "
" I loved it. The relationship between all of the characters is really complex. I did not now who to trust (with the exception of the Ptolemy siblings and Juba) until the end. A must read in my book! "
" I don't know if this counts as real history. But, I have always been fascinated with Egypt and it made me more aware of that transition between ancient Egypt and the next big empire. Although it is clearly written for a younger audience and involves a lot of supposition. Still fun. "
" It was a really great book. I loved it! "

" I'd never heard this story of Egyptian history...You always hear about Cleopatra VII and Julius Caesar and Marcus Antonius (Marc Antony), but this is the story of Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Cleopatra and Marc Antony. Fascinating read. "
" This book was a very good read. It made me cry several times and its sad how her parents and brothers died but im happy she got to be with juba. After eveything she went through she deserved a happy ending. "
" A nice read about some history of Egypt and the war with Rome. "
" The dialogue felt forced but the historical facts were interesting. Overall I found it a bit slow. "
" I was kind of disappointed that what was described in the summary didn't happen till the end. I could've lived without the very detailed childhood. "
" A fantastic book! So well done. The history of it all was amazing. The truth behind the war was the best. I would read this book again! "
" This book is more of a girl's book with some mature content. Now I am anxious to find out more about Cleopatra's daughter. "
" When I first picked up this book... well, I couldn't put it down. It's fascinating how the author made fact and fiction collide and made it work superbly. I immediately fell into the story and you can almost literally feel like you've been transported back in time. Loved it! "
