Very original! It really brought ancient Syracuse to life in a charming but also disturbing way...
I love when authors find unique and clever ways to tell ancient history, and this one does wonderfully!
The message isn't subtle, but still makes you reflect, and the choice of plays adds a deeper level of understanding to it all.
Depressing in its own way, but leaves you with hope that people can rise above the petty and hateful.
4.5 rounded to 5
