Chronicle Supposing Books Daughters of Rome (The Empress of Rome #2)

A powerful epic novel of Ancient Rome, packed with drama, violence, passion and secrets.

A.D. 69. The Roman Empire is up for the taking. The Year of Four Emperors will change everything - especially the lives of two sisters with a very personal stake in the outcome. Elegant and ambitious, Cornelia embodies the essence of the perfect Roman wife. She lives to one day see her loyal husband as Emperor. Her sister Marcella is more aloof, content to witness history rather than make it. But when a bloody coup turns their world upside down, both women must manoeuvre carefully just to stay alive. As Cornelia tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered dreams, Marcella discovers a hidden talent for influencing the most powerful men in Rome. In the end, though, there can only be one Emperor...and one Empress.

Critique Epithetical Books Daughters of Rome (The Empress of Rome #2)

This was a surprisingly good read for me...I am not a big fan of historical fiction set in ancient civilizations as I often get confused by all of the, well, history. Author Kate Quinn did a wonderful job of telling her story about the Year of Four Emperors, which I knew nothing about, without getting too bogged down in the politics.The story is told through the voices of the Cornelias - two sisters and two cousins - and the effects of the turmoil on all of them. Cornelia the eldest is married

Oh wow, I'm so glad I made the decision to re-read this book.I forgot how much of a bad person Marcella was. Time went on and I wanted to shake her more and more - she was an excellent character though, even if she was a bad person.This time around, I was fixated on Diana and Llyn's relationship, it was so subtle and understated and they never betrayed who they truly were. The pairings in this book are all excellent really; Cornelia and her Centurion (And she finally got to have babies!!!),

"'Things have changed, Cornelia. This isn't Rome anymore, not the Rome we know. The kingmakers rule this Rome.'" Daughters of Rome is the story of four women from the Cornelii clan who survived the Year of the Four Emperors.Unlike Mistress of Rome and Empress of the Seven Hills, Daughters of Rome is written exclusively in third person. Reading this book right after Empress of the Seven Hills, I found this odd. None of the women in the book seemed to outshine the other, there were no clear

Daughters of Rome is definitely a fun read with prose that flows so naturally you easily breeze through it. Once I got sucked into the lives of these four women I could not wait to read what happened next. Political upset, seduction, romance, betrayal..loved it!

An astrologist reads into the future of each of the four Cornelii girls; sisters Marcella and Cornelia and their cousins Diana and Lollia. He envisions one of the young women to become the empress of Rome and to have blood on her hands, he also foresaw 11 marriages in total. Set in Rome A.D 69, approximately 20 years prior to Kate Quinns first novel, Mistress of Rome, it delves into the year that four emperors ruled. Each of the sisters are well developed and I could relate to each of them in

As I expected, this was a great read. I simply couldn't put it down, it got me hooked at the opening line and I really enjoyed every minute of reading this amazing book. I liked everything about Daughters of Rome, just as I liked everything about Mistress of Rome. Daughters of Rome is a wonderful mix of well-developed characters, very interesting plot, historical events in ''The Year of Four Emperors'', political intrigue, romance, fights, great descriptions of life in ancient Rome and really,

I have had Kate Quinns debut novel, Mistress of Rome, on my to-read shelf since January 2010! And I totally forgot about itthis is why I love my to-read shelf. I dont remember how I learned about it, so its serendipitous that I found Daughters of Rome, which has whet my appetite even more for Mistress. I saw this book on the New Books shelf at my library and decided to give it a chance. Thats a code phrase for Im not really sure Ill enjoy this, but it is within my sphere of interestin this case,
