Her precious mother is dead - and it isn't an accident! The young Cleopatra - Pharaoh's illegitimate daughter - must flee the royal palace at Alexandria or die too.

And will she find dreamy Khai, the über-hot Librarian boy she met as she fled Alexandria years before? Cleo's powerful destiny is about to unfold... Gorgeous and evocative, this captivating new YA novel imagines the life of the teenage Cleopatra before she became the icon we think we know.… (més)

I will be honest - going in, I thought this was going to be a frivolous story about a teenage Cleopatra, but I was wrong. It was suspenseful and engaging with interesting characters and a good storyline. I thought the writing could have been tightened up a little bit, but overall I enjoyed it. Recommended.

4/5 stars. ( )

Cleo by Lucy Coats DNF at 11%
 
The language was way too modern for the era that the story takes place in and the story failed to pull me in.

I was so excited to read this book. I love Egypt, and Cleopatra has always been one of the most captivating subject.

Because of that, it's hard for me to review this. I was hoping for so much more.

My review copy on the kindle was missing lots of letters, so it was very difficult to compensate and figure out what words meant. That would have made me give up on most books and DNF. But with this one I persevered. I wanted to read the whole story.

Cleo is pretty whiny and very child like....but since she was a princess/goddess and very young, I suppose that fits. The story was very different from what I was expecting. To me it didn't really feel like the story of Cleopatra as a child, but rather a YA book drawing on supernatural and ancient religions.

Ultimately, this was a middle of the road book for me, so I would give it 2.5 stars. ( )
