Prva Quinnina knjiga koju sam pročitala bila je Kćeri Rima te sam jako željela pročitati i Ljubavnicu Rima. Kada sam je napokon jednoga dana ugledala na policama Kauflanda, nagovorila sam si oca da mi ju kupi i nisam požalila. Pročitala sam je već dvaput. ***SPOILERI***Tea je židovska robinja lij...

I have read this book last and should have read it first - even though it says #2 ( not sure why) as it is an introduction to Mistress of Rome and Empress of the Seven Hills. Daughters of Rome has its own climate different to the other two parts. I have enjoyed every page of the story. I truly va...
Really good. The year of the four emperors is great fodder for historical fiction and this book does it very well. The story centers around the four Cornelii female cousins. What I enjoy is Quinn's look at women in ancient Rome and the power they did have, even though they are often considered...
Kate Quinn is amazing! I love, love, LOVE her books set in Ancient Rome and "Empress of Rome" is no exception! She absolutely brings the Eternal City to life.

J’ai tué le premier, aimé le deuxième, le troisième a été mon ami, et le quatrième, j’aurais p...
I was so excited to read this book as a continuation from Mistress of Rome and it. did. not. disappoint.Admittedly it did take me a while to get into the book, for some reason it didn't draw me in so instantaneously as Mistress or Daughters did, but having said that once I had got to the 'Dacia' ...
—DANTE Leonello You look ferocious.” Cesare Borgia surveyed me briefly. “What ails you?” I gave an even blacker scowl. “Nothing.” In truth, I frowned because otherwise I would be grinning like a loon. A grinning dwarf is such a comic sight. Even more comic is a dwarf who c...
Just a few words in a graceful hand, but they set my heart to pounding. Titus Aurelius was good enough to tell me you live in Bethar, Antinous had written. Would you welcome a visit? I looked up at the supercilious Imperial freedman who had delivere...
The grocer I’d been paying for the past few years to keep Demetra’s son shuffled from foot to foot, clearing his throat. “I can’t keep the boy no more. My wife’s gone, my own boys are going to live with their aunt, and she don’t have room for another, and—” “You’re trying to drop this on me now?”...
