Reception

Lianne Kolirin of Daily Express called it "an intelligent historical novel" that "[draws] a vivid picture of the horrors and glories of life in ancient Rome."[2] Michelle Smith, in a review for BookReporter, wrote that "It is a mesmerizing story that will leave you caring deeply for many people in it. Clearly Moran genuinely cares for the characters she writes --- and for their authenticity, as personas are far from black and white."[3]

The book received a negative review in the Historical Novel Society's magazine, which called the book "a disappointment".[5]
