My husband recommended this book to me, I completely understand why he loved it but with that said for all the reasons he loved it were the reasons I don’t. The first half of the book is slow and repetitive focusing on the legion being brought up to standard as the southern legionaries were underfed and under disciplined. The book drops Roman military practices into the realm of fantasy creatures and elements but focuses mostly on Military practices and duty. There’s just not enough fantasy for my taste. The characters are very one dimensional, as in your going to need to develop your main characters more if you want me to care for them. At this point we’re not even on a first name basis. Would I read the second book? Maybe, if it was available for free and I had little else at the moment to read sure. But right now it doesn’t compete with the red rising series I need to still complete. The book isn’t flawed, it just wasn’t a stand out read for me.
