I'm a fan of mystery set in Ancient Greece and this one was a very good one.
It's engrossing and entertaining and it kept me interested till the end.
I liked the likeable and well written cast of characters, the well researched historical background and the mystery that kept me guessing.
I hope to read other books with this cast of characters as I really liked them.

As I’m quite unobservant I didn’t notice that this was the last book in a series when I requested this ARC. It could have been a serious problem as there’s a lot of character development and world building but I must thank the author because the references to the backstory were well explained and I had no big problems in understanding the characters or the setting.
I can say I loved this story that mixes grimdark/urban fantasy and steampunk elements and making the mix work well.
The characters are well thought and interesting and I appreciated how most of them are morally grey, even Enne or Levi. Even when we are reading about the “bad guys” there’s always something that makes them interesting.
It’s not a fast paced story and the different POV helps you to understand the different side of the story and getting more involved in what you are reading.
It’s a gripping and highly entertaining story, a YA that can be appreciated by people of all ages and I think that the reading experience will be different for different ages.
I loved the character development, the world building and the political games that drives the story.
It was an excellent read that I strongly recommend. Now I have to read the other books and I’m surely it will improve my experience.

This book is definitively better than the first one and I found it engrossing and entertaining.
The cast of characters is well thought, the historical background is vivid and the solid mystery kept me guessing.
I can't wait to read the next installment.

I didn't know what to expect, I just knew this wasn't "Johathan Strange & Mr Norrell". I started to read and I was hooked because I knew this was the start of a new amazing trip.
I recognized the style of writing and was fascinated by what I read.
Now I badly need to read the rest because it was like seen a great banquet and being able to eat just some crumbles.
But they were excellent crumbles.
I hope September will arrive soon.

I'm not a huge fan of unreliable narrator trope but I found this story entertaining and engrossing.
The plot kept me hooked and the voices of the narrator gave life to the story making it very engaging.
I recommend this audiobook as I think that the voices made it more compelling.

It's the first book I read by this author and won't surely be the last because it's brilliant.
I loved the plot that kept me hooked, the well researched and vivid historical background and the fleshed out characters.
I traveled to ancient Athens and it was liked being there.
It's strongly recommended.

It's quite a long time since I read a Nick Hornby book but this one was excellent.
He delivers an engrossing, interesting and highly entertaining story where not much happens but you are kept hooked.
There's a lot of politics but there's also an interesting love story and two fleshed out characters.
i loved the great storytelling and character development and the humour.
It's interesting and highly enjoyable, highly recommended.
