I have enjoyed Linnea Tanner's other novel Apollo's Raven, and I bet this one will be enjoyable too. Great review.

Thank you for a wonderful review. It is like a small part out of history, but more detailed. I can't imagine being in Lucius' place, though I have had some days not go as planned. I enjoyed how the author wrote this book also. I'm glad you enjoyed the book so much.

I enjoy reading books with graphic descriptions because that helps me to relate with events as they unfold. Good job on the review.

I'm absolutely interesting with this story, and your great review made this book more appealing. It is also wonderful you give the literature background as an early explanation. I wonder if the Emperor still believed and gave his support to Lucius, even though Lullus his father had betrayed the Emperor's trust. I must read this book. Excellent.

Lucius sounds like an ambitious young man. I hope his father's actions do not stand in his way.

Sounds typically like transferring the punishment of a father's sin to his generations unborn. I am intrigued. Thanks for the review.

This is a historical fiction with an open end that happens in ancient Rome. It brings Lucius, who wants to ascend in politics despite his father's actions against the Emperor Augustus Caeser. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!
