Daughters of Rome

pick

I went with a pick for this book because the last third of it was so good - but if I had based it on the first two thirds it probably would have just been ok. It just felt like a bunch of women gossiping and not much happening even though so much was happening. The last third is full of action and I couldn't put the book down! The ending was fitting for all the characters. I'll definitely be reading the third book in this series.

Daughters of Rome | Kate Quinn

Haven't done much reading the last few weeks....not really a slump but just felt like doing some puzzles and such with my free time instead. Looking forward to spending the evening getting back into this book with a grilled cheese and some orange juice.

tpixie I‘ve wanted to try her older (Italian in think) historical novels… 2w

Jess861 @tpixie This is her second book (and the second book in the Empress of Rome series) - might be the books you are thinking of. 2w

tpixie @Jess861 yes! Are you enjoying them? 2w

Jess861 @tpixie Definitely! They are a bit more brutal then what I'm used to but I find it fitting as the stories are about Ancient Rome. I'm only about half way through this book and I have to say I enjoyed the first book in the series more - but this book is starting to pick up a bit - so we'll see how it finishes. 2w

tpixie @Jess861 great thanks! 2w

Can't believe we've gone from snow and freezing rain to a random day at 20 Celsius!! Heading back down to colder temperatures tonight though ☹️. Staring this one for #authoramonth . I enjoyed the first book in this series so thought I'd give book 2 a read. Looking forward to journeying into Ancient Rome! @Soubhiville

Butterfinger I loved the Mistress so much. 1mo

Daughters of Rome | Kate Quinn

so-so

Although this series is really well written and has lots of action and is intense and I like that about it it is also really gory and gross and a bit too much sexual stuff for me ! ( Still rated the first one a pick and this one Soso but just thought I‘d make that clear)
