4.25

While the subject matter of the book makes it anything but a light read, Harper guides the reader through an unforgiving world so often overlooked or silenced. If you are looking for a slow burn read that will completely wreck you by the end then this is what you want to add to your tbr. Wonderful world building without feeling like it was an info dump the world of ancient Pompeii and the Wolfs Den come to life in a way that is obtainable and visceral.
