REVIEW!

Princess Arsinoe was sold to a king who ignored her in order to strengthen her fathers kingdom.  She is nothing but a pawn to so many people and she only wants the stable hand.  What could possibly go wrong in that scenario?  Will she survive?  Will she reach her goals?  

A lot happened in this book and I truly enjoyed it.  However, I found that it ended too quickly for my liking.  I didn't feel like I had enough time to truly get to know the characters because the book was so short.  I love period books and this one delves you into the lives of Ptolemaic Egypt.

The book was fun, with a decent pace and flow.  The characters were well written.  The idea behind the book was good as well.  I just wish it had been longer in the end.  So worth the read.  The writers style was fun and different.  I will definitely be looking for more by this author as soon as I get the chance.
