Ich habe dieses Buch vor Jahren schon mal gelesen und die einzige Szene, die ich in Erinnerung hat war die eine "Sex-Szene" mit Cäsar. Weiß nicht, was das über mich oder das Buch sagt.

Es ist mir etwas schwer gefallen, mich hier hineinzufinden - gerade am Anfang hatte ich den Eindruck, dass das Buch zu viel "tells" und zu wenig "shows".
Im Nachhinein liest sich das Ganze aber gut weg und ich konnte es kaum wieder weglegen; spricht dann doch für die Qualität. Vielleicht liegt es auch daran, dass ich selber Juristin bin, ein Gerichtsverfahren ist also genau nach meinem Geschmack. Und das Taktieren in der Politik - wann wird das jemals nicht relevant sein?

Alles in Allem, 3 Sterne für ein solides Buch, das aber andererseits nichts Besonderes ist.

This was a decent story, but much less dynamic and exciting than the other Rome series I'm reading. Cicero and Tiro are great characters, but this doesn't quite elevate itself past the common trappings of historic fiction.

Revised:
I gave this story another listen and it resonated much more. I'm moving it up a star!
