I thought AtCS was good, definitely better than I expected. It has a theme of dealing with personal darkness but needing the help of others to overcome it. And lots of owls, which is always a plus in my book.
I haven’t read The Scorpio Races yet but it’s one of the million books on my TBR.
And I second the recommendation of The Bronze Bow. Has some outdated cultural depictions (oh great, now I’m sounding like Disney) with Jesus being blonde and blue-eyed, but otherwise, really good.
Semper ubi sub ubi.
