I loved the slice of life feeling of this one. I liked seeing the characters I love and getting more information about them as they transition through their new normal.
A little disappointing, if I'm honest. I was happy to read it, and it was nice to revisit familiar characters, and to get a deeper look into Marcus's past, but the whole 400 pages felt meandering and slightly pointless. There was no danger, no urgency, no mystery--none of the hallmarks of the original trilogy that made it so absorbing to read. It felt like a history lesson of the American and French Revolutions that just so happened to include vampires. The last 100 pages seemed rushed, though the conclusion was satisfying at least. I hope if Harkness decides to return to this world in the future that she can tighten up the stories and imbue them with a little more of the magic that was so integral to the first three books.

I chose to read this primarily because I enjoyed the TV series, and I was curious to learn more about Marcus’ backstory and what lies ahead for him. I’m pleased I did, as the novel delves deeper into his character, giving much-needed context and development that the show and other books only hint at.
Like the previous books, the story is filled with characters who only make brief appearances. At times, I found it difficult to keep track of who was who.
I did enjoy how the story was intertwined with historical events and notable figures, prompting me to do some extra research.
