The Empress of Rome

review 1: This might be my new favorite book by Kate Quinn. Something about the chemistry of the Cornelii ladies just really worked for me, and the way all their stories were woven together was fantastic. I have to admit I dragged my feet on reading this one, because the back cover blurb made it sound super focused on politics -- how could the year of the four emperors be anything else? But Quinn manages to make the politics and upheaval of the period very personal and incredibly human through the lenses of her narrators, and I really, really, just loved every minute of it.
review 2: I'm so torn with this author! On one hand, parts of the storyline are so very interesting and I can't put it down....but on the other hand, parts of the story are sooooo annoying. Seriousl... morey, if I had to hear about "the Reds" one more time I was ready to throw my book out the window. It's so weird, loving and hating a book at the same time. The personalities of the sisters were a bit cliche, and Diana was just plain annoying, but despite it all, I was still sucked into the plot line of "the year of the four emperors". It was engrossing to read about the political scheming, the coups and plotting, and especially the last few chapters (which I stayed up late to finish). I also really like how Quinn tied in the characters from "Mistress of Rome" as a prequel to this novel, as children or young adults, which made for a fun connection between the novels and provided backstory for those original characters. I think that this was better than the first one, which makes me rather curious about the last book in this trilogy :-) less
