A review by nclcaitlin
The Temple of Fortuna by Elodie Harper
3.25
Amara is now a freedwoman, able to rub elbows with the elite in Rome. Amara’s daughter real father must remain a secret in order to protect her past lover and their child, forcing them to live separate lives as she lived in the capital.
Ever looming is the, unknown to the cast but awaited by the readers, eruption of Mount Vesuvius. When faced with the devastation, Amara’s ambitions and plays for power disappear as she can only worry about her friends and loved ones who have remained in Pompeii.
The Temple of Fortuna sees Amara struggle more with what she wants out of her life - for herself, for her daughter, for the world and memories she has left behind, and the one she now claims. For her future, she must give up her past which includes the good.
I was eager for this final instalment as many fellow reviewers gushed how this cemented this trilogy as one of their favourites. That being said, book two remains my favourite and this book felt slightly disappointing because of it. It felt more gossipy rather than the powerful political moves Amara made in previous books
Never let your expectations soar past salvage!
