Title: The First Book in the Series
Product review: This book, and the rest in the series, are monsters in size, and great in detail and structure. There are a lot of characters in it so it can be hard to keep them straight. Thank goodness for the character index in the front, for I had to flip to that numerous times throughout the book. I must say though, that the book lost one star because it did become boring at some points and I did have to put it aside to read something else more entertaining. A book that long can do that, begin to lag and sputter in the middle, which is why I think the author should had trimmed it down about a hundred pages or so, in order to keep the flow going. That would have kept the good parts just about back to back, and myself able to read it without pause. I'm looking forward to the rest of the books, especially when we get to Caesar and Cleopatra, and Antony and Cleopatra.
