There are a few cliches here, I guess. Most notably, it's definitely cliched for the protagonist to resist the patriarchy, and for her best friend to see less harm in it. But this is really well-written, and the characters are pretty interesting, so maybe it'll hold out.

This is kind of sweet, although it's a fairly typical ending.

Shit is beginning to hit the fan. This is... alright, I guess. It's too cliched and predictable for me to totally get behind it.

The suspense is building, although this is still pretty cliche.

Quintus is intensely annoying. To be fair, he should be annoying, but Jesus. Even when he's supposed to be sympathetic, his annoyingness shines through. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it is a thing.

Well that was suddenly very dark. The patriarchy makes me sad...

I'll admit it - I'm kind of skimming Tag's chapters. Lucia is just a lot more interesting.

Still a little cliched, but the girl protagonist (I can't remember the Roman names) is just such a good character.

This is certainly a breath of fresh air, compared to what I've been reading recently. We'll see if it's as good as it is different.
