4.5 Stars.
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.

Alright I binge read the heck out of this. I was actually pretty excited for the first 100 pages or so. & then it was the exact same thing over and over and over for 200 pages. It was mostly a hate read towards the end. Giving it three stars just for the addictiveness. Zero Plot just over the top banter....
