Empress of the Seven Hills by Kate Quinn
4.0
Reader, beware. The ending of this book will stab you in the eye and giggle at your pain. Holy crud on a cracker.
I didn't even particularly like the characters. I wasn't interested in Vix while reading [b:Mistress of Rome|6581303|Mistress of Rome (The Empress of Rome, #1)|Kate Quinn|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1392172462s/6581303.jpg|6774744], and I didn't understand his decision to return to Rome at all. Vix kind of seems like a dingbat.
Dislike of fictional warriors aside, the book itself was very interesting. I was fascinated by all the goings-on and the plotting and treachery and holy crap the twisted ending of doom. Kate Quinn is a fantastic writer. I am bummed she hasn't written twenty more books for me to sink my teeth into, STAT.
