Wrath of the Storm (Mark of the Thief, #3)
Jennifer A. Nielsen
A quest for freedom. The magic of the gods. A storm to destroy a world. Trouble has a way of finding Nicolas Calva, and it’s not likely to leave him alone any time soon. With Caesar’s magic bulla, the Malice of Mars, and the possibility of a Jupiter Stone in play, all the powers of Rome are circling Nic. He’ll have to maneuver his way through scheming government officials and reawakened magical beasts to save the Empire. Can he manage to keep his friends and family safe, claim his own freedom once and for all, and rescue the Empire—before the magic gets the better of him?

I love Jennifer's books. And this may have even been a five star book if I didn't have the Ascendance Trilogy to compare it to. I know it's not fair, but as one of my favorite trilogies, I can't help it.
This didn't have the twists and turns and surprises I've come to love in her books. Rise Of The Wolf had it, so I was expecting just a little bit more from this one. I still REALLY loved it and thought it was a great conclusion, but it didn't have the epicness of the final scenes of Rise Of The Wolf.
Crispus is my baby, and I CALLED it. No spoilers. But I called it. He's a doll. Love him and Nic. I got a little annoyed with Aurelia who was so USELESS. Every time she was like, "I won't leave you! I can help!" All she did was get in the way by constantly being kidnapped and threatened and forcing Nic to have to make decisions to save her ass. I feel like she wasn't like this in the previous two books, so that was a bit disappointing.
Overall, definitely a great series that I really loved. Didn't make its way into my favorites like the Ascendance Trilogy, but still a great read.
