Summary: Interesting, but different than the first
Review: This second installment in the trilogy did not enchant me as much as the first. At times it almost seemed like this book was written by a different author than the first Josephine B. book. This book placed much more emphasis on the racy, sexy side of Rose/Josephine and at times it felt a little forced. It's as though the author felt the need to sex it up a bit. I found that kind of cheap. There was no passion....just the obligatory sex scenes over and over. Very predictable. However, I am still anxiously awaiting the third and final installment and hoping the author will revert to the winning style displayed in the first book.

Summary: Entertaining Read
Review: While not as engrossing as the first of the series, this book still successfully draws the reader into the intrigue filled & interesting world of Josephine Bonaparte. The author does a good job of recreating so many of the pivotal moments in the Bonaparte's life without loosing the personal insight of Josephine.I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction.

Summary: Excellent book, but a little more serious than the 1st
Review: While the first book in the triology was an easy, decadent read, this book is a little more weight-y. I'm not sure why it is; I think Gulland's writing style is a bit different. An excellent book...just different from the first...

Summary: Pretty good
Review: You will hate this book because you won't be able to put it down. Sandra Gulland has sucessfully told a story about a young girl who becomes Empress. She wrote the story as journal entries from Josephine and they describe her enchanting life and thoughts. This is such a great novel and the character/historical figure of Josephine B. becomes such a strong image in your mind as you read through this book. You will see what a strong person she is and was. I became fasinated and so moved with this story that as soon as I was finished reading it, I immediately went out and bought the second one and am now on the third book. Thank goodness, there's only three!
