It took me a long time to get through this book. I put it down at about 80% after Antony lost faith and she had to demand he let her in when he wouldn’t face his men. We all know how the story ends, yet I found myself avoiding reading the downfall of Cleopatra and Antony whose story has become a part of us all. 

This was a great book, I enjoyed it thoroughly and love Cleopatra more now than when I started the book.
