Penelope and her Athenian allies launch an attack on the capital city of Larissa, engaging in open battle with the Celt and her sworn sisters.

Okay, here I am. And this is a review, as I promised:
Damn. Damn, damn, damn, that was soooooooooooooooooo good. I've never thought an erotic story can attract me so much, make me focus on the plot so devotedly and symphatize with the characters so eagerly. I wouldn't mind having "Tale of Ties and Binds" on my bookshelf, if it ever happened to be printed
I absolutely drown in that ancient, quasi-historical and quasi-fantasy universe, where everything seems to be on the right place (of course, providing that a any things can be on the right place in a world ruled by women <sexist pun!
>). Everywhere among that erotism and debauchery - I could really feel that sophisticated scent of Greek culture and mythology.
That vocabulary - sweet Jesus, it was more like a 19-th-century British novel than an erotic story! So many beautiful words, so many great, detailed descrptions of every scene... I'm pleased
Characters were terrific. I loved Daphe for her temper and zeal, Serena for her slyness and Adara - for her disarming fatalism. Also, the evolution of Penelope is very engaging - I was very curious how all those adventures and peril would eventually change the redhead matriarch. Oh, and the Celt was just perfect antagonist - arrogant, and yet emotionless, cunning and ruthless. I really hated her from one of firs encounters and I can say I felt satisfaction with the conclusion of her fate
There are four things I didn't like in the story. Literally - four. Three of them are details and one is just my fussiness.
One: the final struggle... well, the sense of battles in that universes somehow imposed that, but it was more like a wrestling than an epic fight between protagonist and antagonist.
Two: that ending... I don't know, maybe it's just the matter of the atmosphere of the whole scene, but I wouldn't something more incisive. Luckily, there's the epilogue, so the bad impression is supressed
Three: Adara's fate! She's one of my favorite characters (not only my, I guess) and to conclude her thread of the plot in such uncertain way... As said above, I prefer more incisive conclusions
And the fourth: why all men are enslaved?! I protest!
That's obvious You feel very comfortable with creating historical/quasi-historical stories, "AToTaB" and "Ides (...)" prove that. Are You going to continue that? Maybe the plot of your next great series will take place during Middle Ages or 16-17th century? You've got plenty of possibilities! Good luck with your coming stories!
