Gloriously written. The emotion and humanness that was imbued into this tale really enriched the often stark, bloody and factual accounts of ancient history. As a result, I was brimming with elation, biting my nails with anxiety and crying with grief thoughout this novel. I am now very excited to read Miller's other work.
Graphic: Animal death, Blood, Death, Body horror, Gore, and War
Moderate: Sexual violence
