protovulcan's review against another edition

dark tense fast-paced

4.5

definitely a book i couldn't put down once i started reading. lots of character death, and towards the end some made me tear up. 
i hate paulinus almost as much as lepida, especially at the end.

Whew, this book is way more violent than I'm use to reading. I could have done without the violence and gore, and there were some characters I abs lutely hated, but still was invested in the story and some characters.
