Alexandria, 47 BC. For three centuries, the House of Ptolemy has governed the Kingdom of Egypt. Cleopatra – seventh of her name – rules from Alexandria, that beacon of commerce and learning that stands between the burning sands of the desert and the dark waters of the Middle Sea. But her realm is beset by ethnic rivalries, aristocratic feuds and courtly intrigues. The world is watching the young Queen, waiting for a misstep. And now her most trusted servant – her Eye – has been murdered and a vast shipment of newly minted coin stolen.

Very in-depth and engaging world building.
It took a few minutes to get into with all of the unfamiliar words and jargon being thrown at you, but once you’re in, you’re hooked!
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. As someone who absolutely loves history and ancient Egypt, this gave me feeling of getting what I’ve always dreamed of…being a [time traveling] fly on the wall!
Great narration, captivating story

Chef’s Kiss
Reviewed: 12-11-24
A master class of epic story telling!
It’s been some time since I’ve listened to the Dorsa series, so I’d forgotten how much I loved Eliza Andrews’ writing.
This one is a roller coaster ride of events! The story is just so well fleshed out- characters, world, storyline- all of it is chef’s kiss. If you want to take a journey and be fully immersed in quality story telling, this is for you. It can be enjoyed as a standalone as well. This made me want to go back and re-listen to the others just to envelop myself in this world again.
Narration 10/10 as always

My Heart!
Reviewed: 08-22-24
Highly engaging storyline with a bit of danger, suspense, creepy alien bugs, court intrigue, and heart. Pleasantly surprised with some good steamy scenes too (always makes a book 10x better imo). It felt like watching a movie, very easy to get caught up in this story.
Didn’t think I’d enjoy this as much as I did. Well written, good narration, captivating story. Definitely recommend!

Entertaining Story
Reviewed: 08-07-24
Interesting and entertaining story. I wish there were more world building and backstory. It felt a bit rushed and I didn’t really connect with the characters as a result. Narration was okay. I had to speed up the audio slightly and pronunciation on a few words were strange, but overall not bad.
I appreciate POC rep, glad I listened.

If there is one thing you needed to know about me it is this: I hate vampires. They are useless, soul-sucking monsters that destroy everything in their path, even my own family. I joined The Order and became a vampire hunter for revenge, but I never would have guessed that my job would entail baby-sitting the vampire heir to the most powerful clan in the world. And if she thought I was going to break like the other hunters she has been through... she has another thing coming to her.

It’s 1857, and anxious debutante Beth has just one season to snag a wealthy husband, or she and her mother will be out on the street. But playing the blushing ingenue makes Beth’s skin crawl and she’d rather be anywhere but here. Gwen, on the other hand, is on her fourth season and counting, with absolutely no intention of finding a husband, possibly ever. She figures she has plenty of security as the only daughter of a rakish earl, from whom she’s gotten all her flair, fun, and less-than-proper party games.

I’m a big fan of Austen and period pieces, and a queer version?!? Perfection. I need a part 2!
Excellent narration, good writing, cute story. Queer Bridgerton was an accurate description.
