Casey, Jordy, and Nox discuss this and more regarding Cleopatra\u2019s story in I Am Cleopatra by Natasha Solomon. Nox DNF\u2019d it, and Jordy and Casey felt it left the reader wanting more, especially regarding Cleopatra\u2019s power and influence. All three agree that Solomon\u2019s prose is lush and worth reading, though! Light (yet hilarious) spoilers when Jordy reveals gasp Caesar dies. &amp;nbsp; Books mentioned: I Am Cleopatra by Natasha Solomon Cleopatra by Saara El-Afiri The Royal Diaries: Cleopatra VII by Kristiana Gregory (book on CD linked, but check your library!)
