Review of Caspar: Last of the Magi

Post by **Wayne Njoroge** » 16 May 2022, 13:21

A book that combines historical fiction with Eygptian mythology. I am especially intrigued with how Cleopatra's role plays out in this novel.

Casper receives an invitation to visit Queen Cleopatra. This is a very interesting storyline and the review does a good job of explaining his fears as well as excitement. Is he a pawn or a true patriot? I think I will be able to enjoy this historical book that features stories of the Roman Empire.

I haven't read much about Roman history although I have been an ardent student of history. I should grab this book.

Very interesting. The Cleopatra has become a lifetime story and history in the world. If anyone who want to get insight about Cleopatra's biography have to read this book. Thanks for great review.

I like that the author has combined historical facts and fiction in a very successful way so that this fine line is almost invisible. I also like the fact that the author has gathered in one place many important personalities of the era from Cleopatra and Caesar through King Herod to The Magi from the East.

Exciting indeed. Reading your review has piqued my interest in this book. Though I've never been interested in the history of the Roman Empire, I think I might give this one a shot.

The book sounds interesting and really exciting. It's a nice opportunity to get aquainted with such great historical figures like Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Herod the Great, Emperor Augustus and many other fascinating characters. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

It is very cool that because of the limited availability of historical records, the author could take creative liberty in crafting this story based on actual events and people. Historical fiction isn’t my favorite, but this one sounds well done. Thanks for the review!

I've watched movies about Cleopatra, but never paid attention to the character. Your review actually piqued my interest in the character, Cleopatra.

I'm a big fan of Historical fiction, currently reading The Fox (also historical fiction). Though I don't know much about Cleopatra. I'm already captivated by this book.
Thanks for the review.

I like historical books. I have read many cleopatra stories and I feel like this book might give a fresh perspective on it that and Caspar's storyline marrys well into the plot of the book

Cleopatra and the Graeco-Roman Empire have always intrigued me. I would love to read this novel.

Thank you for the great review.

This sounds like an interesting book. Casper's invitation to visit the Queen opened a whole new world for him. If I couldn't read anymore of the book than that I would be happy! I love stories that have royalty in the plot. Thanks for the great review!
