Not for me, but others interested in a step by step adventure story through the underworld might enjoy it.

I let a lot go for the sake of the romance story, but the power balance and captor/captured was too much for me to enjoy any romantic entanglement. So the emotion was lost on me.įinally, I’ve got to say that an author putting in a line where the character says “now I have agency,” does not, in fact, give them agency. It also started with a big emotional death, but as the story had just started, I didn’t really care about any of the characters. I think the first half of this book is the main character’s journey to the underworld, that was a bit too long before even really getting into the story.

Aeneas, his legs gripping a rocking ladder, raised his hands to the sky. The low, desperate babble of human confusion was broken now and then by the shriek of some poor creature crushed by a mast, or the shrill neighing of a horse swept overboard into the boiling sea. There was a tearing and slapping of wet fabric, and the scream and crack of wood bent beyond the limit of its length. Sails were ripped from their masts the decks were a riot of rigging, timber, torn wineskins belching their contents, all mingled with sea-water and blood.
