Ruying did nothing wrong!!!!

I'm so conflicted on this! There were parts and ideas I liked, and then parts not so much...
  • I thought the world and magic system were interesting but why make the other world Rome? Why not another fictional place?
  • The prose while beautiful at times just talked in circles and made it hard to follow.
  • The time jumps were jarring and I wish we spent more time with Ruying AND Antony to see their "relationship" develop more.
These are my major complaints but I'm interesting in possibly the next book in the series....
