review 1: This is the second book I'm reading of Stephanie Thornton. Once again she doesn't stop to amaze me with the extent of beauty that she puts in writing her books. I love how the book is written so beautifully that it keeps your eyes locked to every line , almost making you hungry to absorb more. I never liked history but thanks to the manner in which Stephanie has relaid the story in her book , I'm turning now to understand the history and looking at it from a different perspective. she made me love history. simple as that. And also I'd like to say I'm so looking forward to reading her next book about tiger women and the other book due to come out in 2015. Stephanie Thornton, please don't stop writing, I am your big fan and I truly enjoy your book. Thank you for "reviving "... more memories of long forgotten heroines that left a huge trace in the history of world.
review 2: This novel was AMAZING!!! It is based on the true story of Empress Theodora. I was a history major in college and I teach social studies but I am ashamed to admit I had never heard of her before. The book told of her horrible struggle as a young girl as she tried to live as an actress and prostitute in order to survive. Her beauty and brains would eventually take her to find true love as the emperor's wife. Just an absolutely incredible story and most of it is based on fact. The author includes a historical note at the end which I always appreciate. This novel was fantastic!!!!! less
