Elodie Harper is an excellent storyteller and this second book featuring Amara is a page turner that kept me hooked.
I love Amara and like the depiction of Pompei. The historical background is well researched and the characters are fleshed out.
There's not a lot of historical fiction set in Rome that features strong characters like Amara and i think this is excellent.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
