A review by abandonlakes
Daughters of Rome by Kate Quinn

4.0

Oh wow, I'm so glad I made the decision to re-read this book.

I forgot how much of a bad person Marcella was. Time went on and I wanted to shake her more and more - she was an excellent character though, even if she was a bad person.

This time around, I was fixated on Diana and Llyn's relationship, it was so subtle and understated and they never betrayed who they truly were. The pairings in this book are all excellent really; Cornelia and her Centurion (And she finally got to have babies!!!), Lollia, darling Lollia, and her golden freed-man Thrax. And for those who have read Mistress of Rome, it is so incredibly interesting to see the formation of Marcella and Domitian's relationship, and Domitian before he was emperor.

I love this series. They truly capture the spirit of Rome.
