De: Kate Quinn

Narrado por: Elizabeth Wiley

Elegant, secretive Sabina may be empress of Rome, but she still stands poised on a knife's edge. She must keep the peace between two deadly enemies: her husband, Hadrian, Rome's brilliant and sinister emperor; and battered warrior Vix, who is her first love. But Sabina is guardian of a deadly secret: Vix's beautiful son, Antinous, has become the emperor's latest obsession.

As tragedy sends Hadrian spiraling into madness, Vix and Sabina form a last desperate pact to save the empire. But ultimately the fate of Rome lies with an untried girl, a spirited redhead who may just be the next Lady of the Eternal City....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This is a feast for historical readers." ( RT Book Reviews)

I got angry, I got sad, I became happy

A very good listen. And the end is wonderful. :) Fifteen words, is too many. Why can’t I just leave stars.

Her writing and how she weaves history with fiction

This was was the last book of the Flavian era of Rome. Well done all.

SO good

I loved how the whole series didn’t follow one person the whole time. It touched on numerous people’s lives like a kind of web that connected everyone. This was a great conclusion to a great series.

Fantastic plot, not so great performance

The storyline of this book is great, especially towards the end: gripping! However, about half the book is from a male perspective. I think that they should have had a male narrate that portion since it was such an extensive portion of the book and the female narrator did not do a great job impersonating male characters. Also, the female characters in this book are strong and regal. The narrator made them sound ditzy. My opinion is to read the book rather than listen as the audible does not do it justice.

Disconcerting

Whoever decided that casting a women to narrate a gladitorial male must have been very fond of the narrator and had no fondness for their story. The narration was so out of keeping with the character as to be wildly disconcerting. I might try reading the story as I was unable to really decide if the story was, by itself, interesting.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

I usually listen to my audible books as I fall asleep but this was so interesting that I found it difficult to go to sleep to and often extended the timer.

Such an engrossing read

I loved everything about this book. Best of the series, even though I also enjoyed the first 3. Just a ride through history that was captivating and engrossing. Great narrator and I just love this author.

Great Series, very engaging writing!

I am shocked that I never found and read a Kate Quinn book before because now that I have read this whole series, It is a gifted writer who can keep you interested in the lives of characters for 4 books. I will be reading many more! She’s a wonderful storyteller!

gtreat book

I couldn't put it down and Ididn't want it to end! Great book and narration.

An experience

I was unsure about this book prior to the start but this was quite an adventure through history. Loved it
