linhsreadinghour's review against another edition
3.5
Hmm, this was ok. It wasn’t a chore to read, I felt like I was pretty invested in Amara and wanted to see how things would pan out for her. I was about 150 to the end and that’s when I started getting bored. The book has no huge major plot points, it just followed Amara’s life. Nothing remarkable really happened, it’s pretty dark but that’s to be expected reading a book about women working in brothels in Pompeii. I wasn’t satisfied with the ending. I felt some things weren’t tied up nicely and I still had questions.
I don’t think I’ll continue with the series.

Very intense descriptions of sexual violence. Avoid if you may be triggered.plant_mum's review against another edition
