Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
First off, I really enjoyed the concept of this book a lot! I have always enjoyed Roman history so the idea of a time-traveling Julius Caesar immediately piqued my interest! The Ides lab was interesting and I did enjoy the way time travel was done in this book.
One thing that got a bit old to me was the constant attention to Cassandra’s looks. I understand that she can be attractive but it just ended up being a bit much that it was mentioned way too often and felt like it undercut her intelligence and gift for language.
While I do wish we got to meet Caesar just a bit earlier in the story, I did really enjoy getting to see Caesar’s perspective.
Overall I thought the story was fun! I thought the time limitations created a nice tension.
I did think the audiobook narrator was a bit monotone but that didn’t bother me too much.
