Another engaging installment in the series. I really enjoyed the interweavement of Roman and Greek mythology into this one. Although I guessed the basics of the "mystery," fairly early on, I was still thoroughly into the story. My one qualm is the ending in which it is suggested that Megara would be a suitable match for Dion... without acknowledging that her actions were very toxic. Also wish that the brotherly squabble that led to such serious events hadn't been over girls. Oh well.

Book 10 of 17 down! I wonder if I can get this series completed by the end of October? We’ll have to wait and see!

Again, there are parts of this story that I remember and then others that I had completely forgotten about. Like I remembered the but with Flavia crying over her father and that causing him to wake up, but I didn’t remember that it was Aristo’s brother that had tried to kill him. So I am really glad that I’m going through this series again, purely for the fact that it’s reminding me of everything that I had previously forgotten about.

I’ve looked ahead at the synopsis for the next few books and from what I can tell, I only have 1 more book that I definitely remember having read and then we are in uncharted territory. So that’s quite exciting.
