I never connected with this text.  Following prostitution in Pompeii there is a lot of graphic content.  While I have respect for the MC holding her ground throughout and fighting for better for herself.  There’s not much else I had to say.  I personally didn’t enjoy it. It just wasn’t badly written so I didn’t dnf

Due to the time setting also a lot of different types of slavery. 

Think more just not for me

I could not put this book down and you will fall in love with the characters. Loved rooting for the main character as she is a slave with no choices and  is slowly trying to regain her freedom. The ending is SUCH an emotional rollercoaster.
