Summary

192 d.C. Varios hombres luchan por un imperio, pero Julia, hija de reyes, madre de césares y esposa de emperador, piensa en algo más ambicioso: una dinastía. Roma está bajo el control de Cómodo, un emperador loco. El Senado se conjura para terminar con el tirano y los gobernadores militares más poderosos podrían dar un golpe de Estado: Albino en Britania, Severo en el Danubio o Nigro en Siria. Cómodo retiene a sus esposas para evitar su rebelión y Julia, la mujer de Severo, se convierte así en rehén.

De pronto, Roma arde. Un incendio asola la ciudad. ¿Es un desastre o una oportunidad? Cinco hombres se disponen a luchar a muerte por el poder. Creen que la partida está a punto de empezar. Pero para Julia la partida ya ha empezado. Sabe que solo una mujer puede forjar una dinastía.

Gran historia, terrible narración

Una obra excelente, como todas las de Santiago. La recomiendo totalmente, aunque la pronunciación de las palabras latinas da pena. Los narradores lograron que, de alguna forma, el audiolibro se volviera tedioso y fue bastante pesado terminar de escucharlo.

excelente historia, pésima narración

he escuchado varios audiolibros y la narracion de este es, sin duda, la peor que he escuchado.
la historia sin embargo es excelente, aunque empieza un poco lento, Posteguillo sabe cómo escribir!!

Overall enjoyable

Overall, the novel was enjoyable and it has made me look up and learn more interesting historical facts and phrases from the Roman times. However, I won't be reaching for the next book in this series.

As for the text itself - just like with Roma soy yo - it suffers from a lack of good editing. The book would have been much more enjoyable if one didn't have to listen to the long-winded repetitions of the same or similar phrases and recaps. And while I appreciate the author's nod to the women augustas in the history of Rome, the chapter-long reeling of names during a conversation between Claudio Pomepiano and his son is simply boring. If you're not actually making any point whatsover, why not list these names in an Annex instead. I would have much preferred references to these women weaved into the conversations throughout the book instead.

The narration is pleasant and well paced.
