Review of 'The Silver Pigs' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I loved the writing style/narrative prose; it buoyed me through the denser or slower sections. Even if I was lost on character relations or plot twists, I had a good time.
I particularly appreciate the author's ability to seamlessly weave the social, political, and historical context of the Roman Empire into the story -- it's like an anthropology book come to life in the most fun way.
