adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The character development is strong, especially for the two main heroes. Laila's growth into bravery especially can be well tracked and pinpointed to specific moments. 

⁕ There was a lot of scenes of violence (many of them tied to enslavement and/or sexual harassment). Sometimes these scenes served to aid the plot or character development, but other times they acted as unnecessary shock value.

⁕ Roman history/culture has a decent influence on the world-building. If this is something that interests you, it's pretty obvious but well done!
