Babylonia by Costanza Casati
4.0

This is one of THE BEST literary threesomes I've ever read!
This was a captivating retelling that has top tier world-building and character development. The book takes us on a journey through a time of political intrigue, cultural richness, and personal conflict. The author has clearly done her research, and it brings the world to life in a way that feels so immersive and authentic.

"She knows that they will meet again in the house of dust: The common woman who became queen, The governor she married, And the king who loved them both."
