A review by vanitar
King of Kings by Wilbur Smith

4.0

This was my first Wilbur Smith book and I really enjoyed it. It had a colourful array of characters and was set against an interesting historical backdrop. I enjoyed imagining what the landscapes were like in the midst of the story taking place.

At times, it felt a bit grandiose for me. I suppose that's part of an adventure novel where it seems the good guys are destined to win, but as much as I enjoyed the storyline, it didn't seem entirely plausible. Nonetheless I still enjoyed it and the book kept me coming back to it and reminded me why I love reading.
