Mystery and magic in a ancient Roman Setting.
This books takes troupes that fantasy book fans love and executes them brilliantly, it even manages to breath life into a magic school. The book then adds a unique setting and magic system to the mix. However the thing that makes this book brilliant is the complex political situation our main character finds himself in. One wrong move could mean his own or others death, who can he trust? How can he keep his promises and protect himself and his friends? Can he get out of this and keep his morality? These questions make every page tense even when slice of life action is happening. I hope Will is busy writing the sequel because I will eat that thing up!
