As much as I liked this book, I was also disappointed in it. What was with the Spartacus retelling in there? I really enjoyed the first book, so imagine my surprise when it took me almost 2 weeks to read this. OK, that is partially my fault, I used to read 2 books a day, now im lucky if i can get through 2 chapters a day. Working really takes a toll on my ability to just plow through a book.

Oh... I also couldnt stand all the time jumps from present to past, or that all the past scenes were in italics. WHY!

Mia, Mister Kindly, and Eclipse go through a lot in this book. And I absolutely love the 2 shadows creatures bickering. It reminds me of Tyrion and Varys. And it seems she may have picked up another passenger, from what I gathered. Not sure yet. But, the build up to the gladiator house was amazing. Mia was lethal, and nothing was stopping her. I was confused, but I knew the payoff would be great. We also run into Ash again, remember her? Shes interesting.

And while it was, there was still that hint of disappointment because I felt like I had already been through this story. Granted, there were no chariot matches in what I remember from Spartacus, but it was still pretty similar. The only difference was that ending. And, GAH DAMN that was a good ending. I had to read it twice, because it was so good. It is hurting me not to tell you my favorite part about this ending. But, lets just say that Kristoff left a VERY good setup for the next installment.
