Thank you to netgalley!
One of my favorite ancient civilizations is Babylon and Assyria so of course I had to pick this up.
I will make a lasting name for myself....I will stamp my fame on men's minds forever From the epic of Gilgamesh. (Can I just say I loved how much I loved seeing inserts of the epic throughout the book??)
This book has a somewhat bleak atmosphere that I really loved. I could picture in my head how Semiramis lived and what her surroundings looked like due to Costanza Casati beautiful writing. I think this pretty much guarantees that Costanza will be an auto buy author for me.
If you are a lover of Ancient Civilizations or Mythology retellings this would be an auto buy.
