Book Review: The Cleopatra Curse
Review: #323
Title: The Cleopatra Curse
Series: The Seven Fabulous Wonders - 7th and final book
Author: Katherine Roberts
Read Before: yes
My Comments: While it has an interesting plot, the execution left some to be desired. It seemed that the plot didn't move forward at a fast enough pace, leaving you to wonder when the good stuff is going to happen. Zeuxis is a likable character but none of the characters really stand out. The addition of the supernatural (a.k.a. demons, curses and magic) is the main draw. The actions of the demon that was summoned was disappointing, as it did very little, and what it did do was all off screen, with barely a mention. I liked the ending though, in which it solved something in another way which was better than you would have expected. I thought that there was no way around the fact that some of the other characters were going to die but the author did.
