Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio

adventurous dark emotional lighthearted sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

The book opens with Hadrian telling us he's a hero, & soldier to some, and murder of billions to others.... and then he begins at the begining with the tale of how he became who he is... I love a roman-like civilization is space.  ...but remember... even Rome burned.... I am looking forward to reading book 2!
