This is so boring and I hate Hadrian so so much! Also sounds like quite an awful mix of „Dune“ and „The Name of the Wind“. Yuck!

Very excited for the next books in the series. Hadrian Marlowe is becoming a favorite protagonist of mine.

3.5 stars. Empire of Silence started out as a five star read. It's imaginative, engaging and at times heart wrenching. Unfortunately, by the middle I found world became a tad murky and plot meandered for nearly 200 pages. But the last quarter brought it back together. I enjoyed the book enough to continue on and am very intrigued to see how Hadrian's story will unfold.
