narteest 's review for:

Hand of Isis by Jo Graham
4.0

Asides from the sex scenes, not unusual for historicals these days, I must say Jo Graham has officially impressed me! I liked 'Hand of Isis' so much better than I liked Black Ships. Where I felt that some of the conversations felt forced in Black Ships none were here. Both the historical settings of both novels were magnificent but I think Hand of Isis wins!

Charmain is the Hand of Isis beside her sisters Iras and the infamous Queen Cleopatra. The novel follows her story from her first meeting with Cleopatra to the day she died.

Graham weaves a beautiful tale of a life of Cleopatra from the view point of one of her most valued handmaidens. She brings to life these historical characters.

If you're a fan of stories about Cleopatra then you must read this!
