A review by bratatouille
In the Roses of Pieria by Anna Burke

4.0

This was really cool fake history shit. A scholar gets the opportunity of a lifetime. She starts translating letters between the subject of all her historical research and an unknown person for a private collector. It’s gay! And seems to transcend impossible time periods! Also she falls into a relationship herself! Of course, all hell breaks loose. This is part of a series, but the ending of this book doesn’t leave me wanting to read the others. The storyline that I cared about is relatively tied up. It was incredibly fun to read and was everything I wanted This Is How You Lose The Time War to be (note: historical instead of sci-fi, vampires). The main girl’s frustration and excitement at all of these impossible times is catching.
