But looking at this you would think that all these complications would make Cleopatra interesting. It doesn't. It makes her a walking contradiction but then again she is 12 years old and I don't expect 12 year olds to behave like adults.
YOU GO GIRL. Okay, it's ridiculous, and I highly doubt the historical accuracy, but... it made me laugh. ALSO, I love that she mentions cutting off his ear, because it refers back to when Cleopatra saw Cicero giving one of his famous speeches in court, about a girl who'd cut the ear off a man who was trying to strangle her:

”The cobblestones are soaked with refuse: kitchen garbage, dung from the horses and dogs and most putrid of all, waste from the latrines that has been thrown out the windows.
” She had just the energy to offer a parting shot. With a tartness that would have made her mistress proud, she managed, “It is indeed most fine, and befitting the descendant of so many kings,” before collapsing in a heap, at her queen’s side.
I loved this book when i was a kid! I am really looking forward to reading this beautiful story again soon! ♥️
Antony soon followed Cleopatra to Alexandria, which was experiencing an artistic, cultural and scholarly renaissance under their Queen. The two powerful rulers often behaved like college students, forming a drinking society they called the Society of the Inimitable Livers.
The twins were aged 10 and Ptolemy six when read more their mother died. They were taken to Rome and treated well in the household of Mark Antony’s widow, Octavia, where they were educated.
While her father is in hiding after attempts on his life, twelve-year-old Cleopatra records in her diary how she fears for her own safety and hopes to survive to become Queen of Egypt some day.
This is not a bad book—in fact I enjoyed it quite a bit when I was younger and read it often—but this time I was just a bit bored and decided to quit rather than push through and get into another reading slump.

Ancient literary sources about Cleopatra are remarkably sparse. Women never fare well in ancient history, and there is pelo work specifically devoted to the queen, nor is there a major contemporary source. Plutarch’s biography of Marcus Antonius (see Plutarch 1988) is the closest to an actual narrative about the queen, but was written one hundred years after her death and is limited in its focus. Second in importance is the Roman History of Cassius Dio (see Dio 1914–1927), the only continuous extant history of Cleopatra’s era. Also of significance are the works of the Jewish historian Josephus (Josephus 1928 and Josephus 1930–1965), whose interest was limited to the southern Levant, but this was an area of importance to Cleopatra.
It also appears that Cleopatra was secretly negotiating with Octavian, unbeknownst to Antony. Always the more level-headed and strategic of the two, Cleopatra no doubt saw that Antony was doomed – but their children might not be.
