Title: Losing his touch?
Review: I'm a HUGE fan of this series and I preordered the book prior to publishing because I couldn't wait to see how the next chapter in the saga played out.Unfortunately, I was dissapointed and let down by this latest installment. Although his historical references are still engaging and instructional, he failed to keep my interest in the ongoing characters in Gordianus' family. And where is the promised explanation of how Bethesda was miraculously returned to the family after supposedly drowning in the last book! Was Bethesda even present in this book? Yes, she sat with the family in the grandstands during the triumphs! Is that as extensive as her role is going to be from here on out?The story was loose and not nearly as page turning as the others in the series. I really hope Saylor puts more effort into the next book, if there even is another.......
Is the review positive or negative?
