The Princess of Egypt Must Die
Stephanie Dray
Princess Arsinoe came of age in the glittering court of Ptolemaic Egypt. Abused by her ruthless sister, a pawn in the dynastic ambitions of her father, and dismissed by the king who claimed her for a bride, young Arsinoe finds herself falling in love with a young man forbidden to her. She dreams of a destiny as Egypt's queen, but first she must survive the nest of vipers otherwise known as her family.

I enjoyed this story. I actually think I would have really liked it if it had been a full length novel. Nothing was able to be fleshed out because it was only 50 or so pages, but I would have loved to see Arsinoe's relationship with Cassander really develop. I would have liked to see her really develop a relationship with Bunny.
Queen Arsinoe II is an interesting historical figure, so this was an interesting origin tale. I enjoyed it. Could have been better. But I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of Dray's work.
