Song of the Nile by Stephanie Dray

4.0

As much as I want to give this book five stars I really can't. Selene was just that annoying as a narrator in this book. While I can understand her focus about wanting to gain back Egypt it kinda became TOO much in this book to really bear. I mean would someone really stoop to the level that she did and try to sleep with Caesar after he raped her? That just doesn't even logical, but I suppose Selene wasn't all that logical mostly driven by her magic. This book had a different feel than the first one. This felt more grown up rather than a childish touch like the first one did. I enjoyed it more because of that. There were more adult themes in this one and helped the plot move along. I had to read the authors note at the end to get more of a meaning in the story because for most of the part it had me gritting my teeth to get through some parts of it. And I'm glad to hear that there will be a next part in the series. Especially if she still reigns/lives for 14 years.
