gluestick: Boys who come up with ingenious plans and incredible plot twists.
humouress: The protagonists in both books are cheeky street boys who become in embroiled in royal politics and kingmaker's plans. But they decide to do things their own way.
electronicmemory: Although one is Greece-esque fantasy and the other is a Roman-era mystery, both share scrappy, compelling characters in the form of Gen and Marcus Didius Falco.
gluestick: Another charming,ingenious,mischievous thief with a secret agenda and an inflated sense of his own worth.Could be Gen's long lost twin brother.
themulhern: Both books are closely inspired by a mythology and a geography. But both books are also highly original and the first in a series of similar books.
This book is really fun to reread because there are so many little throwaway lines that end up being foreshadows. Knowing what was coming next never made me bored, either - just excited to get to the next big moment.
I really appreciate the visceral description of Gen's hunger and exhaustion coming out of prison, and I really came to love all of the main characters (except Ambiades, whom I suppose I can manage to pity on a good day). Although not a lot happens plot-wise in the first half of the story, the dialogue and description keep me invested. ( )
I will be honest i was really looking foward to reading this. It really did not capture my attention as i would have liked. I thought all the characters were cool but the whole story was confusing and the end was such a info dump that it made the story disjointed. I wonder if the next book will be better. I really did like all of the characters though it just did not capture me like i hoped it would. I really want to see more magic and gods in it. Maybe when i get into the next book it will change my thoughts. ( )
