A review by johnbreeden
Genghis: Birth of an Empire by Conn Iggulden

4.0

I enjoyed this book, contrary to what I expected. The character development was done quite well, along with the blending of the story and the action. I respect the author's choice to make some alterations in telling the tale - to the extent that this is historical "fiction." The last section helps to make some of this clear. In the same way, I respect what must have been a mountain of research to climb. This novel seems to hold firm to its connections with the historical basis while breathing life into its characters.
