Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio

dark inspiring reflective slow-paced

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. There's a lot going on in terms of names and concepts to learn, but I stopped hanging on these tiny details. I loved how grand it felt and it reflected in how the maim character is. He felt and acted like an educated noble and he was really well written. It takes a while to get started, but when we get to Emesh, there's very interesting events that unfold. My favourite being Hadrian's friendship with Cat who's from the streets.
