Absolute masterclass. If you enjoyed book 2-3 then you'll 100% love this. It's basically a book baby between the 2. You get a character coming back from book which was awesome and you get the political machinations of book 3. What's not to love?
I enjoyed the addition of Hadrian's daughter, Cassandra. Since becoming a Dad I always get a better relationship from parent/child stories than I would have otherwise since I truly can understand the love that Hadrian feels. I do wish Cassandra would have had more of a part other than Hadrian telling her she can't come with him and Cassandra pleading her way into coming, but I'm sure she'll have an important part in book 7 that I am so ready for!
I enjoyed Ruocchio's chapter about the God in his book and kind of opening your eyes about real life and our relationship with God. Nice bit of Christian psychology for ya.
