Title: Historical Excellence
Product review: Being an fan of this particular period of history, and having read the Persian Boy, I was prepared to be critical of Funeral Games. Instead I found it absorbing, historically accurate (as far as I could tell) and a fairly dispassionate set of observations on the demise of Alexander's empire. Again it's Bagoas who narrates, but Alexander is gone, and so is Hephestias, leaving the crown for the taking. Pawns and would-be kings abound, and queens as well. A must-read for anyone interested in the period, or in really great political fiction.
