This book and trilogy are going to stick with me for a while. Elodie Harper does such a good job handling such difficult subject matter in a way that’s not too graphic but also doesn’t gloss over the horrors of being a brothel slave.

Amara’s journey trying to get out of her brothel life is both really hard to watch but also so, so hopeful.

This reminds me a lot of Kate Quinn’s Mistress of Rome! Story arch is pretty similar so if you like that you might like this. What stands out to me is Harper’s expansion on the themes of sisterhood which paint a more compelling picture of life in ancient Rome.

It’s an amazing book but it is about prostitution so if that would bother you, maybe not for you

Všeč mi je bil cel aspekt o sestrstvu in o močnih vezeh, ki se spletejo brez da bi se mi tega zavedali.
Amara je lik, s katerim sem se poistovetila in oboževala sem način pisateljice kako jo je predstavila nam bralcem.
Komaj čakam, da pričnem z branjem naslednjih dveh knjig.
