Vivid and unflinching, this is the truest and most visceral depiction of ancient Pompeii that I have ever read. And it has nothing to do with Vesuvius! The characters are unique and intentional, the setting is perfectly described, and the villains are terrifying most of all for their believability. A fabulous book. I finished this book in the wee hours of the morning and immediately ordered the next two in the trilogy.
