“As Alexander the Great said: When you are lost in the land of darkness, you must reach down and grab whatever objects you find” 

Even though this book felt a bit off in the writing style I enjoyed the story and the characters where one lies as a professional and the other tells nothing but the truth, the queer undertones was a wonderful addition towards the end between Nicophrous and Tyun and the ending where they both decided to try and find more treasure together truly encompassed the story in my opinion.
