Cleopatra’s Daughter was an enjoyable read that took me back to ancient Rome during the time of Agustus. I enjoyed the time with Cleopatras children and appreciated a more innocent Cleopatra Selene than what has been explored in other fictional writing I’ve read. 

Because I am honest I thought the ending fell a little flat, but it may be that I had my hopes set too high. I’ve also read Nefertiti by Michelle Moran, and find that book to be better in comparison. However I’ll probably still go on to read The Heretic Queen.
