A review by mrfreshness007
Emperor by Stephen Baxter
4.0
Thoroughly enjoyed the details of Roman society. (I guess the HBO series Rome got me in the mood.)
I know some folks knock Baxter for limited character development, but I think his writing style is more an emphasis on human characters as events as opposed to people. Get that? What I'm saying is that he uses the characters more for their actions to define ideas than go into serious depth into the characters themselves. Anyway...
I liked the linking of each generation back to the 1st and how the 'family' developed over time.
Looking forward to the next books in the series.
