A very fun book with generally enjoyable characters and an epic adventure from London to Egypt! 

I felt that about halfway through the book, the main character Julie became a bit flat and was pushed into a very heart-eyes role, following her mans etc, but it is of its times so i cant be too upset about it. With its setting comes misogyny but i think at least before the halfway point, Julie was a cool strong female lead!

I truly enjoyed every bit of this book despite the flaws of it. Heart eyes for Ramses!!!

Historically I’m an Anne Rice fan - have been reading her books for ages but took a break for a few years & im back in! 
Yes there are the slow moments, but once I got into this I couldn’t stop thinking about it & had to keep going! 
The
Cleopatra character kind of annoyed me
but was also fascinating, volatile, and kicked things up a notch. I wish I understood a bit more about her inner world as it was a bit surface level but I understand why.
