The Lesser Devil by Christopher Ruocchio
3.0
3.5/5 stars
It was a fun read. I was really interested to know what happened to this main character after book one of sun eater and I really liked seeing where his character went. It's interesting to see how he is both similar to Hadrian in some ways but wildly different in another. It's always a bit fun following a heroic type who is not actually a hero. Like one minute I'm cheering them on for being brave and saving someone and feeling horrible for having to kill someone, then he says how it's not like killing slaves because he feels so much worse, and then you remember - "oh yeah, this guy is kind of a scumbag". But that's really fun to read.
Ultimately though there's not much that happens that I haven't seen done in other stories.
