'The news of my royal progress [...] spread throughout the Two Lands, & my people were touched that their young queen should honor them in this manner. Back in Alexandria, Pothinos & Theodotus received the reports of my success w/ coolness, unhappy that I was capturing the love & imagination of my people, & undoubtedly they planned to use all their power to thwart this trend.' ...Unending nonfiction infodumps! Joy.

Apparently the author decided to try & insert some pearl-clutching WTFery: Cleopatra's lesbian lurve with Charmion. But it's too little too late. Cleo is a passionless brick of a narrator who suddenly needs a woman as sexual outlet because...why?

And so Cleopatra takes incense to her private temple & gives thanks to the gods...just like it's been described five times previous. Hurrah. -____- This book really is the unholy love-child of Huff & Penman.

Feels like a mash of Tom Huff's plodding purple narrative & Penman's epic historical infodumps. Blergh. Not sure if I can finish this one.
