Terrific writer but the first person reflective narrative style was a constant distraction.

Bored. Listen I’m interested in Rome, had just finished listening to 8 hours of history podcasts in Rome. I don’t know if Cicero isn’t the most exciting character or if this story just took too long to get going but I was bored. Sorry Robert. Conclave was excellent.

Just finished this renowned historical fiction trilogy about the famous figure of Cicero, who operated during a time of almost unparalleled change within the Ancient Roman Empire. One of those periods I've always had a great interest in, yet simultaneously know almost nothing about.
Featuring names that have echoed down the ages such as Caesar, Crassus, Pompey and more, this is a book that is largely political with action not at the forefront, yet the tension is rife throughout this tale, and it feels epic in scale, as you know the consequences of the results of these events will effect all who fall within the realms of the Roman Empire.
A thoroughly enjoyable read!
