sea_tea_books's review against another edition

I was looking for more historical information to learn something about ancient Rome. This focuses too much on

gore and rape

dark tense fast-paced

4.5

definitely a book i couldn't put down once i started reading. lots of character death, and towards the end some made me tear up. 
i hate paulinus almost as much as lepida, especially at the end.

Page turner. I actually picked it up previously and couldn’t get into it, but this time I couldn’t put it down! It was shocking, entertaining, and emotion provoking.
