I didn’t get very far into this before giving up. Some really dull and clunky passages, a point of view that seemed to wander from a child to a goddess in the course of a paragraph, an Egyptian dynasty that has for some reason adopted a dating system devised (in our world) by a Christian monk in the sixth century; each a brick in the wall that stopped me reading further. Maybe it gets better: there were some good things in the parts I read — the embalming of a pregnant woman in the early pages p...
An intermittently interesting read - set in an alternate history where Antony and Cleopatra won the battle of Actium the two thousand years old Roman-Egyptian Empire encompasses the world (well, probably; the army has Chinese mercenaries but the Americas are not mentioned, I think ).

Loved this book. I think one of the things about it is that I don't think I've ever read such a twist before. Cleopatra and Antony do not lose the battle to Octavian and as such, Egypt becomes a mega superpower. Fast forward to 1800s England where the story is set and where the Egyptians still rule and the egyptian gods still walk the earth.
