I recently became enthralled with ancient history, so I had pretty high expectations. I found this novel interesting, but it was a bit boring.

This book reminds me a bit of Wolf Hall in that you have a somewhat sketchy but not completely repugnant character who tries to work his way up while making deals that sometimes come back to bite him. I didn't feel an especially strong draw to the characters, but the story was compelling enough to pull me in.
