Oh my, I love this book! I have fallen in love with Marcus and his development. And I know its bad but Nero has gone up in my eyes.
This book is set in Rome years after Nero 'committed suicide' but plot twist what if he never died. Emperor Nero is back, along with his adopted son Marcus, and Rome is the center of plots and murders. We follow many characters for a few months and as each of there lives unfold we learn more about them and the world they are living in. I really enjoy books with multiple perspectives I find it adds a unique flavour to the characters by seeing them through others eyes.
This book is set over two time periods roughly, going to the end of Nero's reign and his journey then ten years later to the 'present' day. This and the character switching can make it hard to know what's going on.
Overall this is a great book and I highly recommend.
