I really enjoyed that story, so maybe I should reconsider picking this one up.

I've been wanting to read this, but your review has definitely bumped it up on my list. :) I love how there isn't any love triangles and the book is told in dual POVs!

I'm curious to see C.V. take on the story of Spartacus, and I'm glad to hear the romance has a slow-burn aspect to it. Also, gladiators in general are just awesome. Great review, Alyssa!

The passage of time wasn't done clearly enough for me.

I am itching to read this book. I'm glad the world-building was thorough and the love is slowburn. Xanthas seems like a great character, and I am so excited he's sweet and broody and considerate!
