Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The character development is strong, especially for the two main heroes. Laila's growth into bravery especially can be well tracked and pinpointed to specific moments.
⁕ There was a lot of scenes of violence (many of them tied to enslavement and/or sexual harassment). Sometimes these scenes served to aid the plot or character development, but other times they acted as unnecessary shock value.
⁕ Roman history/culture has a decent influence on the world-building. If this is something that interests you, it's pretty obvious but well done!
