Erg genoten van dit boek. Het leest snel en vlot.
Ook de setting van het verhaal, zowel Sagalassos als Leuven zijn leuk om over te lezen. Ik ben altijd al geïnteresseerd geweest in archeologie en Sagalassos, dus dat was een leuke plus.
Daarnaast is het fijn om vele plekjes in Leuven te herkennen, je loopt haast mee met Berg door de stad.
Ook de constante verwijzingen naar de Griekse vond ik erg leuk.
Het plot rond de moord zelf vond ik ietwat magertjes, ik had snel mijn vermoedens over de moordenaar. Toch wist Jo Claes me af en toe te verrassen in andere stukjes van de verhaallijn, wat altijd fijn is.

This was good. Very good.
And even though I liked the new characters, I missed Percy.

This was incredibly good.
You know how it ends, and still this was thrilling. I couldn’t put it down.
And I cried.

Wow. This was so good. I’m in love with all the characters, the writing style, the places, ...
And also 5 stars for the diversity in this book!
I liked the Shadow and Bone trilogy very much, but this book is so much better!!

Up to the next one :-)

Morgan is behaving so stupid.
Still, the ending makes me cry every time.
