The Temple of Fortuna

Such a good ending to an amazing series. It was heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. And whilst the losses from Vesuvius were so sad, the ending was so satisfying and well deserved.

This was THE book I was waiting for this year, and it lived up to my anticipation. The FMC's arc is beautiful. The characters feel real. The references to contemporary archeological discoveries within the context of the story are subtle and delightful. There's something special about the way Harper manages to actually put you in Pompeii's strict social hierarchy with Amara, feeling her struggle as if its your own. I can't recommend this series enough.
