3.0
adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

In what can only be termed my constant refrain, welcome to another series that I remembered reading the previous books and remembered NOTHING WHATSOEVER of what happened in them. (Well, okay, I think I maybe remembered that the Romans were evil, but, like, it's more complicated than that.)
Context? We don't need no stinkin' context.
I'm glad I finished the series, I wonder if I would have enjoyed it more if I'd read the books all back to back rather than piecemeal as I did. This was definitely a story that I read more for the world-building than the people...except that every time Helene Aquilla showed up, I cheered. She was extremely cool.
