Ik denk dat ik de hype wel snap, maar ergens was het beter geweest als dit boek uit twee verschillende boeken had bestaan. Daardoor zou het eerste deel minder gehaast overkomen in vergelijking met het tweede deel.

Jeetje. Het handelen van de hoofdpersonen is soms echt enorm naïef, weinig groei in de personages. Aardig plot, maar een iets te ongeloofwaardig einde.

Ik vond dit boek een tikkeltje tegenvallen. Het mist de spanning die vele romans van Harris kenmerken, want je weet toch al hoe het afloopt. Ja, dit boek vertelt het verhaal van Agrippa die in de schaduw van Augustus moest leven, maar een echte clima ...more
