Jan 06, Matt D rated it it was amazing Shelves: A deliciously debauched and bitchy romp through ancient Rome.

I've gifted this book to all my friends, and I hope to reread it many times. What did I think? I'm fond of saying YAWN I will say one thing in this book's favor. It did grab me from the get go even tho I thought it was kind of weird. The narrator is years old. He also narrates book 2 so I guess he is about or at that point. That's strange itself, I'm fond of saying Nevertheless, I was hooked because the book was different and the heroine, Livia Drusilla, tho unlikeable, is strong Read full review by clicking the link below.

Aug 03, Reader Girl rated it liked it. I love historical novels from this era. There is a lot of sex in it and mostly it seemed unnecessary. A lot of potions etc that seem unlikely as symptoms are more severe than a lot of the 'drugs' available today. Overall though I enjoyed the book an I love historical novels from this era.

Overall though I enjoyed the book and found it easy to read.

A lot of the reviewers on this site have express the manner in which it is told from the perspective of a slave as inconsistent as a lot of it is hearsay but I think with any book written this occurs and I didn't mind it. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series and want to know who the Empress mentioned at the very beginning of the book turns out to be. Jul 20, Amy rated it liked it Shelves: Gave this book a second try and while the language was still more crass than needed I was able to get through it a bit better.

Sitll far too much talk about people loosing control of their bowels and bladder The only reason I gave this book any stars at all is for the depth of the historical research.

I read this as an ebook, and there were no little markers to show when the thought stream changed tangents. I found that the book was very sexual, and crass. I continued to read it because of how mu Gave this book a second try and while the language was still more crass than needed I was able to get through it a bit better. I continued to read it because of how much I paid for it. All in all a disappointing read for me, compared to other books for this time period and with these characters.

This is also a book that could benefit from a glossary. This book me a very long time to read, and I just could not bring myself to care for much of it.

It is disappointing because I actually really like the way Devenish writes, I just found the saga too long and monotonous. I realised how frustrated I was when I was just starting to get invested in It and a character got killed. I stuck with it, but ultimately was extremely glad when I finished it. I'd happily give something else Devenish writes a go, but won't be pursuing this series. Jan 06, Brittany rated it liked it. It was a good story and I'm a sucker for historial fiction anyway. My only real complaint is that it was very long and it became a bit repetitive.

It was hard to follow with all the characters having very similar names I understand this is how it was in ancient times but wow, it was difficult! Thank god for the family trees at the start. Oct 18, Rozonda rated it liked it. I have been able to follow this book because I have a deep knowledge of the characters depicted and when they appeared specially the secondary ones, intended to be immortals and appearing long before their time I knew exactly who they were.

But if you lack this knowledge, you' ll simply get lost. Great idea, developed in a very confusing way. Jan 17, Aeron rated it it was amazing. A shocking tale of the extremes women will go to, to make sure they're prophecies ring true. Full of twists and turns, this book is like an ancient Roman roller-coaster which doesn't stop until you scream for more! Then there's Nest of Vipers A deliciously wicked read, I loved every page.

But the pinnacle of equestrian achievement did not end here. The province of Egypt was organized differently from all other provinces. It was the emperor's private possession, and no senator was allowed to set foot in it without his authority. These impressions clearly represent a romanticized view of Germanicus, one that was no doubt fostered by anti-Tiberian elements after his early demise. Indeed, many believed that Tiberius, jealous of the ever-popular Germanicus, had a hand in his death.

As a clear indication of Augustus' determination to be succeeded by someone from his own line, Germanicus, shortly after his adoption by Tiberius, was married to the emperor's granddaughter Agrippina major. First was the long-pointed 'Mainz' type, whose blade alone could measure 69cm in length and six centimetres in width Connolly The 'Pompeii' type followed this, a shortpointed type that replaced it, probably during the early part of Claudius' reign. The blade of both types was a fine piece of steel with a sharp point and honed-down razor-sharp edges and was designed to puncture armour.
