Daughters Of Rome (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

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 to be powerless. As each woman weaves in and out of favor with each of the four emperors, the reader experiences how the vibe of Rome changes with each man in power. A good fun read. The only annoyance for me was that I had read the first book in this series a year and a half ago. As this book functions as a prequel to Mistress in Rome, I wish I had read this one first. This story started off slow for me but quickly picked up the pace. Although it is the second book in this series, it is set before the first book. That probably shouldn't have caught me off guard as much as it did. It has been a couple years since I read the first book in this series, so that also made it hard for me to jump in and figure out when all these things were taking place. All of that being said, this is a great book with four wonderful characters. I hated and loved them all at different times in the story, and I love that Quinn has the ability to draw the reader in at that level.
