very good quick read, i loved all the female characters so much and the sense of pompeii was extremely vivid. a little bit vague plot-wise sometimes and  the relationship between amara and menander felt a little bit rushed, but overall i really liked it! it was also a very solid move to make the more overlooked members of roman society more visible, very carefully done. and i really appreciated that the author didn’t make certain scenes intensely graphic as many other books tend to. very excited for the sequels! (also i hope felix suffers intensely in the next book. just saying)
