This book is amazing! I loved all the stories. I reviewed each one a little as I read it, so those are in my updates as I read. Something Old, Something New is my favorite out of the collection. It really gave the series that final touch.
  
Brilliant stuff! I absolutely loved this book, and also Having the Builders In, which comes before this. It's only sad that there aren't any more in the series. It's a nice, light read and made me smile while retaining a good sense of historical period and accuracy.

I enjoyed this. it was a fun read with a great cast of characters and I loved the relationship between Belle and Rome.

P.S I can't help wondering if Belle is the woman Lexis saw n Rome's future?

Looking forward to the next book in the series!

I do like this series--I loved the first two--this one didn't grab me as much though. I love Ash and Piper together and I'm still very intrigued about what's going to happen with them after what she's just done.

Off to but book 4.

Holy crap!

This book was so quick and easy to read, I was drawn in from the very start and I don't think I put it down once.

I'm very intrigued by the storyline and can't wait to read the rest of the series!
  
I really enjoyed this and will start the third in the series soon.

The only problem I had with it was how slow the first half of the book was but it quickly picked up pace after the 50% mark and I was sucked into the story.

The Empress is the second book in the Diabolic series, which is slated to be a three book series. The second book completely flips the story line on its head and I wasn't entirely sure how to feel. The pacing lagged at the beginning, but the final quarter of the book was so gripping that I couldn't put it down. Since this is a sequel, anything beyond this could be a spoiler so I would recommend proceeding with caution.

Despite having not re-read the previous book prior to reading the Empress, it did not take me long to fall back into the world. The sprawling and complex system created in the Diabolic is still as present and nefarious as it was in the first book. I enjoyed watching Nemesis and Tyrus battle the Grandiloquy with their wits and attempt to better the galaxy.

It was nice to see some of the main characters develop and feel like more three-dimensional characters than they were. Even though Nemesis is a Diabolic, she is learning that she can be more than what she was created to be and struggles to be more "human". It was fascinating to watch her development, see her attempt to be more empathetic and not immediately jump to the violent solution.

The plot made me so sad, but also need to know what the conclusion to this series will be - alas it will not be released until fall of 2018. I would recommend this series to young adult/teen readers who enjoy science fiction, battles of wits and intrigue, as well as a dash of violence and mass-murder.
