According to one site, the second book is due out this year (eeee!), but there's no title or further information, so I'm just waiting until I see something on Amazon.
The prosecution of Verres was absolutely spellbinding (the trip to Sicily had me holding my breath during the most of it), but the story of his run for consul was equally compelling, although Tiro's whole "nothing really happened in these two years, so I'm skipping over them" felt a little odd.
But even for his heavy writing style, I absolutely *love* Harris' Cicero. He's so very human - pompous and vain and yet so idealistic and devoted. The scenes with his family especially pulled at my heart - Terentia is so fiery and little Tullia just makes me melt. When she said she wanted to marry Tiro it was so sweet without being saccharine at all.
But two more Cicero books to look forward to! Coupled with any more writing that comes out of the fandom it will keep me happy for some time. :)
