I don't really know how I feel about this book.
I was interested in it, the Romanesque premise was fascinating but I really felt like I was missing a lot from maybe a previous story although I don't think I am. Its not quite a "Fantasy" - More like Political Thriller will Magic. Helena was an interesting narrative voice, her naivety was sometimes a little hard to believe, but on the whole the book was good..ish. Pacing felt glacial, the villian a little under baked.
I would read the second book, but it wouldnt be top of my TBR
