review 1: Fluttering Thoughts:World Building: The world is built slightly twisting the actual historical facts a bit. I didn't mind, really, I don't read historical for the history, never was such a fan of it per se, I read these for the stories. The atmosphere and the world felt right for the time frame.Characters: Lucius was interesting, but something about him didn't really reach me. Varick on the other hand reached me a lot more, the two of them were interesting together, though I wouldn't say they had a lot of chemistry, it was this odd sort of chemistry where they're always on different sides of things or something, you know?Plot: Nice to go with considering the novella length of the read. I felt it focused more on their interaction and relationship, which was fine by me. Sho... morert reads can be tricky to pull off, this one was nice.Writing: Ok, though the tone of the narrative just didn't connect with me all the way.Curb Appeal: I saw the cover on a list of titles and wanted to read this, so yeah, smexeh.All in all, nice short read, though I wouldn't say I was swept off my feet it was entertaining. This is more of 2,5 rating then a full 3.
review 2: Very different than what I thought. The characters were rich but not overly absorbing - which was weird. I mean I just wanted them to get the hell out of dodge - I was worried they would not before that volcano blew. I liked the soldier who is mostly old in what he'd seen and tortured by what he now is. The slave who was so earnest but somehow realistic - really gave the emotion here. An o.k. length - I was happy there was an epilogue and I could see how the two men could fall into each other because of circumstance. Enjoyable! less
