I find this format really interesting, moving between the past and present. You wonder, ‘how did these characters end up this way?’

‘…”Or already feeding the sharks.’

The captain scoffed. “Sharks don’t feed much in the daylight.”’

Oh brother

Oh he’s awkward behind the scenes I love that

YOU🫵

She’s got an OFFSHORE BANK ACCOUNT!!!! smh

Stories like this are my guilty PLEASURE

I love Maecenas. We need more Maecenas appreciation

She obviously comes across a bit more negatively in this book than in Kaarina Parker’s retelling, but Fulvia is still getting her flowers here, which I appreciate.

Sixty pages in and Caesar is already dead

I love a novel with a bit of introspection- Agrippa here feels like a man looking back on his life and thinking about the present.

I understand it’s for story purposes but I do feel a little sad that Julia gets the short end of the stick yet again :/

real

I do feel as though the attempts at humour here aren’t really landing for me? It’s detracting from the spookiness? Assuming it’s meant to be spooky and strange of course. It doesn’t have much of a vibe

Accidental cannibalism????

I’m going to say it now I think Jericho is the salt king. There’s definitely something weird about him

I’m going to remember you Jericho. I’m suspicious

Very interesting ominous vibes so far. I get the impression that avery knows more about the salt king than he’s telling us right now

RIP Annabel, died 22nd August 2026, on page 296 of Ballad of Sword and Wine volume 8

‘Yuanzhuo has no regrets in this life…after coming to this spring date with you.’ Oh god
