I like the beginning. The very first story I ever wrote was a zombie story too. Looking forward where yours is heading.

Hmm… I’d say some descriptions felt a bit repetitive and disrupted the reading flow.

For example the part between „The ground shook…“ until „...more pillars emerged“ describes the red tiles and the upward-moving elements with those pillars in multiple similar beats.

(‘the tiles began to shimmer and move’, ‘the tiles shimmered‘, ‘the tiles started getting up’… that all describes the same moment and could be tightened a little.)

Condensing those would make the scene feel tighter and more impactful in my opinion.

But don’t get me wrong, that’s just my personal impression, and the vision is already very poetic and atmospheric! :3

You're absolutely right! I think the argumentation of Pompanianus was very spot on, actually! It was just my personal opinion, since the story pulled me in alot, and I just got excited whether this might lead to some GoT-like betrayals in the future :3

You really know how to make some incredible worldbuilding, Mike.

The description of the Lamia Society was awesome, and I liked the cultural particularities (like the thing with her obligation change after her fifth molting etc.).

The vision-part was stretched a bit too long for my taste, a few less sentences would have had the same impact. But that’s just a tiny thing.

Overall I really enjoyed reading your book Mike, I'm reallly looking forward to the next volume :)

I love those chapters that feel like a new beginning, that makes it also a satisfying ending.

Looking forward for the continuation of the story 🔥

Hmm... relying on the loyalty of the cats in their army when the queen might revolt some day is a bold move by Pompanianus.
History showed that this might not work out for them. It didn’t for Varus and the German Auxiliarys under Arminius...

I have to say, I'm with Plinius on this one. Just as he said 'if we do not enslave them, they will enslave themselves to desire'.
I think its a grave mistake giving the queen her throne back, but I'm curious how it's gonna work out.

The dialogue was damn good btw, I really enjoyed reading it. :)

And after reading the comments I now know why Pompanianus argues the way he did. Very interesting, since I first felt the same way about the greeks/slaves stuff as Paul Losonso did, until you explained it.

Oh and about the question you asked a few chapters earlier, whether I got what that place was before 'the magic died', I have to admit that I actually didn’t get it.

So the great hero was actually Tacitus? Like Publius Cornelius Tacitus? And he built all that?

Where was the plot twist revealed? I'd like to re-read that!

My boy Alex smacking that bitch across the head with his shield was the most satisfying part of that arc so far, ngl

A rather short chapter compared to the one before. I liked the beginning with Barbara but I wished we would have seen some reaction of her when the escape started. Also seeing her cry makes me sad :(

What a fine chapter, I really liked it.
The whole description of the stench that almost makes them vomit, the ragged chute, the oppressive atmosphere… very well done.
I loved how the mood immediately changed when the Blemmiyae appeared, since our two Romans instantly knew that this was the best enemy they could hope for.

But the best part was Pompanius’s speech to Galle (especially when he compares her to a Greek boy, lol), and of course how their plan unfolds.

Learned something again! Thank you Mike-Sensei :D
It's funny how modern conceptions often differ from the reality. Like the color of the ancient buildings, where most people believe they were plain white, while in fact they were very colorful!
Oh and sorry for the spoiler :3
