A review by alexis_hookedtobooks
Empress of the Seven Hills by Kate Quinn
5.0
I love the way Kate Quinn tells these historical tales. We as readers get fully engrossed in the story and feel immersed in the time period. The way she develops characters within these historical times is also amazing.

This book takes off not quite where the first book left off, but some years later. We have Vix coming back to Rome because he feels bored with his life, and he eventually joins a legion. It was fun to read about life with the legions and their routines and structure when going on a campaign. I also loved the relationship between Vix and Sabina, and their love/hate tension.

The book does a good job of showing the expansion of the Roman Empire and how difficult it was to maintain power once they had expanded fully. The difficulty in maintaining control at all their borders became difficult and this book really showcased that.

CW: sexual content, violence, death of a loved one.
