If you want a book with some teeth in it’s fight scenes, depth in its characters, and a roller-coaster ride of plot development so intense you forget to make dinner-this is your book. I give this book five out of five stars for living up to its well deserved acclaim, taking me back to ancient Rome, making me girl crush on some amazing strong female characters, and throw up my hands and cheer like my team just won the super bowl at a surprise plot twist.What I loved:1) The fight scenes, it takes talent to write scenes this good and Quinn dishes out combat of both the physical and verbal variety. There were several gladiator scenes, each unique, and served to push the story forward and sometimes pull out unique details about different characters. I really liked the banquet/orgy/catfight between Thea and Lady Lepida, It was a rare sequence I found fiercely intense. I loved hating bad girl Lepida, she added all kinds of fun crazy.2) The relationships, wound the books plot together and breathed life into a fantastic cast of characters. The tension and connection displayed between families, friends, and lovers was marvelous. The romance between Thea and Arius was built in a few simple scenes, but it was true to life and unique. It was wonderful to see how their connection carried through the rest of the book.3) The environment was drawn well. The beauty as well as the ugly underbelly of ancient Rome was portrayed masterfully. The details of this historical place and culture are used in the right amounts and never became gratuitous or irrelevant to the action in the story.*Content disclaimers for squeamish or under age readers: The violence is graphic but appropriate for the era and theme of the book. The sexual content is discussed more than it is portrayed, and what is shown is mild and tastefully done.
I didn't think I would like this book, but I thought I would give it a try. And I am glad that I did.I liked the background of Ancient Rome. I thought that the historical context of the book was fascinating and realistic. The cruelty of the dictators, the lives of the slaves, the role of gladiators, the gore and barbarity of the Coliseum, the characteristics of the general public and other parts of the story I found most educational and, at times, horrible..The characters were also well developed. There was one cruel, horrible, and egocentric female character in the book that I wanted so badly to jump into the book and tell her off.Overall, I enjoyed the book and I do recommend it.
This book wasn’t what I was expecting at all. It was much darker and sad that I thought it would be. From the opening line, it became clear that this wasn’t going to be a happy tale…..cutting and ‘bleeding’ one’s self is hardly the beginning of a happily ever after romance, which was what I was expecting when I picked up the book.But I kept reading. I wasn’t sure what to think or expect after the first chapter but I was willing to give it a fair shot. I didn’t really like any of the characters….Thea was so guarded that I never warmed to her even in the end. Lepida was a vengeful bitch but as the villain that’s the be expected. The Barbarian was too dark and also too guarded to really see him as a ‘hero’ or ‘romantic’ interest. I mean I didn’t like ANY of the characters…..but still I kept reading.So that said, you would think that I would give this star a low rating right? Wrong. Oddly enough while I wasn’t especially attached to the characters and didn’t especially ‘like’ the story…..I was glued to the pages for one reason…..it was different.It wasn’t the same old cliche hero and heroine. I liked that Quinn went with the darker side of Roman culture and society instead of the easy traditional route. I felt like Quinn was true to the period and true to the brutal and often violent, ancient world.Not to mention the story was so twisted and just dark and wrong, that I couldn’t help but keep reading. I had to know how things were going to resolve for the characters in the end.Even now I can’t say that I really liked this book…..the characters and the subject matter were dark and not really ‘likable’ or even ‘relate-able’ but for some reason I just could not put it down….I had to know what happened and how things were going to wrap up. This was a book that just took hold somehow.So will I read the other books in the series? Yes I most definitely would. I think Quinn has a unique way of story telling…..and any one who can keep me reading when there is really nothing to like, has earned my readership!
I love this series, If you are just looking at it for the first time you may want to start with Daughters of Rome, but this was the one that I actually read first and it stands on its own just fine. The author is able to spin history, fiction and a hybrid of both into an incredible tapestry of a series, be sure to read the author's note at the end, you may be surprised at what is true and what is not! The two main female characters of this book are so incredibly different from each other, I despise one and adore the other but they are both wonderfully put together. And the love story really is wonderful, although heart wrenching at sometimes. This is a book (and series) that I read over and over and never tire of. I can honestly and wholeheartedly recommend it to any fan of historical fiction.
