A review by chrudos
Rome's Fallen Eagle by Robert Fabbri

3.0

Quite a nice read and I will definitely continue to follow up with this series. What I am starting to like a bit less is the fact that Vespasian always seems to be in the middle of the action - even when it is obviously unnecessary - which is a bit implausible for a legatus. Especially since the book likes to make the impression that it was normal. The book includes some engaging moments, but it cannot compare to the many other books describing the invasion of Britain. The three stars might be a result of my disappointment by the way it was described because I was looking forward to this particular part of the story. I have read about it from couple of perspectives, but never from the Vespasian's one. I think Fabbri should have taken more care while writing the part, because there are just so many books describing it and readers are likely to be familiar with these other perspectives. I hope the next instalment is going to be more in line with the previous books.
3.4 stars
