A wonderful story. Full of twists and turns. Complex believable characters all interlinked in some way or other. Loose ends all tied up
I loved the 2 books and am sad I've finished them.
It is loosely based on the Byzantium of the 6th century under Justinian, with his usual slight supernatural slant. A theme of the story is how ordinary people are affected by the doings of the great and powerful, and how sometimes history can be influenced by the little people as well.
I'm on a mission to re read all of GGK's books over the next few months but have to hold myself back from reading them one after another to allow for other items on the book shelf to get a look in.
