I really enjoyed The Wolf Den last year, calling it a 'compelling and moving read', so I was very excited to read the next book in the trilogy - The House with the Golden Door.
I must admit to being a little disappointed by this instalment - The House with the Golden Door feels very much like the middle book in a trilogy. Amara is with her new patron Rufus, still indebted to Felix and falling in love with her slave Philos. It didn't really feel like much happened from start to finish and we are left with much the same circumstances as we started just with different names replacing those we know. Speaking of names, there felt like a lot of them this time around, although I admit it's been a while since I read the first book but there seemed like a lot of characters mentioned that I found it hard to keep track of who was who.
One of the main reasons I enjoyed The Wolf Den was main character Amara, whom I called a 'strong female lead'. In The Wolf Den her mission was all about breaking free and outsmarting her owner, Felix. In this book however, Amara just seemed a little weak, making some really silly decisions which felt like a let down from her strong personality in the previous book. The setting of Pompeii was still really nicely portrayed though, and I enjoyed that the chapter headings still used real graffiti or quotes from the time to really immerse you in the time period. With Amara moving away from the city and some rumblings about the volcano hinted at I do wonder if the next book will encompass the eruption of Vesuvius and the fall of Pompeii - I'l be excited to read it to find out!
Overall, The House with the Golden Door does fall into the middle book in a trilogy syndrome with not much happening throughout and the main character becoming a little weaker. That said, the setting is still strong, and I can't wait to read what will happen in the final book. Thank you to NetGalley & Head of Zeus - Apollo for the chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
