I loved Destiny's Fire.  It's fresh story is a welcome change from the common reads lately.  It's so fabulous to see the back story with Astarte's Wrath.  I loved the rich history and full characters in Star's story.Star is strong, loyal and determined to save the man she loves.  Her spunk is years ahead of her time and I loved her for it.  She can fight.  She can strategist.  She can out think.  And she stands with pose and wrath as her story is told.  The man she loves, the last pharaoh is human.  Their relationship is forbidden.  But forbidding it doesn't stop the feelings.  I so love Xarion.  He's strong and those Star is his protector, he chooses to protect her.  He demonstrates the best kind of love and he truly is a king.The story is richly woven amongst the true story of Cleopatra and the fall of Alexandria.  I love how the magic enriches this story, melting it into a fabulous tale.Sweet passion and fierce battle keep the pages flying past.  I didn't want to put it down and only my incredible schedule forced me to.While I knew this story was tragic, I so loved the ending.  It was perfect.  I cannot even hint at it but I totally loved it.  Reading this book has awakened the desire to reread Destiny's Fire and to hope that book two is planned for soon.If you've enjoyed Destiny's Fire, then this is a must read.  If you haven't started this awesome series, then start here.
