This was so good! I bought the book on day one yet have been putting it off because I was worried it wouldn't live up to The Licanius Trilogy... I shouldn't have worried. 

Islington gives us a complex Roman inspired political intrigue story with a fantasy setting. He delivers on his history of strong character development, and provides a world with a history that feels rich and fleshed out. 

This is a longer book but I never felt bogged down in it, in fact I just wanted to keep reading chapter after chapter. There was a mix of things you could see coming and surprises along the way to keep you engaged in the story. 

I'm truly looking forward to book 2 in this series!
