I really wanted to enjoy this, but found myself wishing it was more character-driven. I enjoyed all of the narrating characters and wished we had gotten more time with each of them and more character development. Despite being full of military conquests and battles, the pacing dragged for me and I hurried through it to finish. I liked the writing but it just wasn’t compelling enough to keep me captivated.
