I found this book to be pretty repetitive and tedious both because of the writing and characterization of Cleopatra Selene.Perhaps I'm giving this book two stars because I previously read Stephanie Dray's trilogy about Selene, which was in my opinion more accurate and interesting. Nevertheless my low rating was also based on the intermittent explanations of Roman and Egyptian culture. I understand the author wants the readers to get a better sense of their traditions however I have to agree with some of the previous reviewers here that this book read like it was aimed more at teenage readers.
