Genghis: Birth of an Empire by Conn Iggulden

4.0

Started this last year as an audiobook while driving to Chelan, WA. Finally picked it up again and finished the last 1/4. Overall, if you want to read it, it wont disappoint. Good, atmospheric story about the early life of Genghis Khan, based on the sources we have. 4/5 mainly because it’s hard for me to “love” it, its a bit too dark/violent and there’s an aspect to the characterization that is quite sparse (which suits the setting, but still). Will keep listening though! Still more to the story I’m curious to know.
