carolined 's review for:

Darien by C.F. Iggulden, Conn Iggulden
3.5
adventurous fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I enjoyed this, it was a romp with some engaging characters, although the characters motivations and feelings for each other and the world around them flipped on a whim according to the needs of the plot. 
Also I was baffled by the world building, it was definitely a fantasy setting, with magic objects and talents central to the plot, yet characters mention Carthage, the Ceasars, Christianity and one quotes 'Invictus' to himself so... post apocalyptic earth? 
I don't think I'll bother with the rest of the series.
