The Lesser Devil by Christopher Ruocchio
4.0
This was a great addition to the series! The Lesser Devil focuses on Hadrian's little brother Crispin and sheds some light on what has been happening since Hadrian's departure.
I wasn't sure I was gonna like this novella, since Crispin wasn't exactly a favorite character of mine in Empire of Silence, but (luckily) there was nothing to worry about - and after reading this story my feelings have certainly changed. Crispin's perspective provided some vital insight & context to earlier events, which made me see him in a new light and even appreciate him as a character.
The Lesser Devil was fast-paced, with an interesting plot, great character moments, and suspenseful action ... and I find myself wishing for more. I'm really excited to see what else this series will bring.
