aj_huntley_04 's review for:

Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio
4.25
adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The world building is top-notch, I really enjoyed how the setting was presented. The prose is also very dense and melodramatic perfectly befitting Hadrians character.
