Acerca de esta escucha
When kings fall, queens rise.
Nothing about Semiramis's upbringing could have foretold her legacy. Born to a woman scorned by Aphrodite and raised as an orphan on the outskirts of an empire, Semiramis was never meant to hold power. But that does not mean she was not made for it. When she meets a young representative of the new Assyrian king a path unfolds before her, one that puts her in the midst of a brutal world and at the heart of two men raised as brothers—one who just happens to be king.
Now a risen lady in a court of vipers, Semiramis becomes caught in the politics and brutality of ancient Assyria. But even amongst the lavishness of the kingdom, she feels the precariousness of her position. Instead of bartering with fate, Semiramis trains in both war and diplomacy. And with each move, she rises in rank, embroiled in a game of power, desire, family, and betrayal, until she can ascend to the only position that will ever keep her safe: Queen.
This myth-based story follows Semiramis, the only female ruler of the Assyrian empire, and the famous love triangle that made her queen—usurping both a king and the man they both loved.

Historia
You are born to a king, but marry a tyrant. You stand helplessly as he sacrifices your child to placate the gods. You watch him wage war on a foreign shore and you comfort yourself with violent thoughts of your own. You play the part, fooling enemies who deny you justice. And slowly, you plot. But when your husband returns in triumph, what then? Acceptance or vengeance—death follows both. So you bide your time and force the gods' hands in a wretched game of vengeance.

Historia
Welcome to Tiankawi - shining pearl of human civilization and a safe haven for those fleeing civil unrest. Or at least, that's how it first appears. But in the semi-flooded city, humans are, quite literally, on top: peering down from shining towers and aerial walkways on the fathomfolk - sirens, seawitches, kelpies and kappas - who live in the polluted waters below. For half-siren Mira, promotion to captain of the border guard means an opportunity to help her downtrodden people. When extremists sabotage the annual boat race, violence erupts, as does the clampdown on fathomfolk rights.

Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics. He can summon butterflies with a song or turn someone’s hair pink by snapping his fingers. Though such minor charms don’t earn him much respect, anything more elaborate always blows up in his face, and so Leo vowed long ago never to use powerful magic again. That is, until a mishap with a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime rival, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo’s complete opposite—respected, exceptionally talented, and absolutely insufferable.

Historia
When Selasi and Akorfa were young girls in Ghana, they were more than just cousins; they were inseparable. Selasi was exuberant and funny, Akorfa quiet and studious. They would do anything for each other, imploring their parents to let them be together, sharing their secrets and desires and private jokes. Then Selasi begins to change, becoming hostile and quiet; her grades suffer; she builds a space around herself, shutting Akorfa out.

The setting is in the 9th century BC, we’re in the Assyrian Empire (which is in the modern day Middle East) This empire is known for its brutality, conquests, innovations and art.
Don’t be intimidated by all the historical talk, all of the information you need to know gets introduced to you in such a beautiful way. There was no info dump or confusion.
Babylonia is a fictional spin on Semiramis, and what her life and journey may have been like.
She befriends the slaves and scribes, she has a pet leopard as her sidekick, she rides into battles with her husband and burns down cities in the name of Assyria.
The author didn’t shy away from depicting Assyria as the brutal conquerors that they were, some scenes in this book were pretty bloody and savage.
But reading Babylonia by Costanza Casati felt like time traveling to the wild world of Assyria but from the safety of my bed.
I loved the complex relationships between all of the characters, the court politics and secrets, and I loved how well researched this was. The author really dove into historical myths, art depictions and writings to create this story and I loved it.
