I just finished today, and I'm not ashamed to say you have completely disrupted my June. I have historical documents to read, I have a planned update to add my analysis to some tumblr posts about the series, and I will take a day of grieving that the third book isn't available already.

The history I've read has me worried about future plot points. The most prickly of those I have hope will be fine (Ptolemy and Seleucus. Ptolemy and Krateros. Ptolemy and Antigonus? Ptolemy just in general).

Thank you for this book! Thank you for this series! Thank you for giving so many characters that I love so much, that when I read about their historical analogs I'm super angry that history isn't perfect!

OMG was this book good. I read the first volume and was hooked. This one takes the first and raises the stakes and doubles them. What I love is that the characters are so three-dimensional that I can actually keep them straight in my mind. Many books/series that have so many characters they need a glossary. Not necessary here! What an astonishing blend of sci/fi, military and character-driven passion/romance.

The whole gate tech and Persephone's relationship to it boggles my mind right now. Sun and her companions are such a wonderful band of companions. See - I didn't say band of men. This is so much better!
