I always love reading about Roman history. I like the plot and the storyline, and I hope that Lucius gets what he wants. I would love to read this book so as to know how the story ended. Thanks for your review.

I am not fond of open-ended books. I prefer an ending that ties everything up neatly. I can't say that I'm a fan of politics either. This one just doesn't sound like a match for me. Thanks for the thorough review!

Historic short fiction set in the Roman era of 2 BC. The story gives a vivid description of politics, vengeance, love, and the importance of family legacy in the life of an aristocrat.

A quick read. Go ahead.

Lucius' life during Emperor Caesar is exciting adding to his father's grievous past. Since this book is based on historical fiction, I might have to skip this book as it's not my taste. Thanks for the review. Congrats on the BOTD!

Any book featuring ancient Roman history is quite interesting to me. But I can't decide whether I like an open ending or not. Congrats on BOTD!!

The setting is interesting. Roman history is one of my favorites and I love the plot and the political drama in this history book. What surprise me the most is the open-ending of the story. Congrats on botd!

As a lover of politics, I am sure to enjoy the book. Also, I would love to know and relate ancient politics to modern one. I also love historical fiction, so based on your review I would surely enjoy the book.

I'd definitely like to know more about the Ancient Roman politics – I don't know much about it. However, whilst I appreciate that the story did not have unnecessary detail, I hope that proper worldbuilding was still done. Thanks for the review.
