a mystery set against the backdrop of historical account of the eruption of Vesuvius n 78AD. Seems good for a younger audience.

Decent book, had a strong heroine and semi-unique idea, but the plot was not well executed.

Not really a mystery tbh but still a vibe. Loving using my degree as an actual excuse to read these books hehe. 

Also some slightly sus parts to this book, like who Miriam ends up with… hmm where tf did that come from and the age?? Hmm. Oh and I’m loving the Christian vibes running throughout, honestly think I was completely blind as a kid.
