“Set in Ancient Roman times, centered around the second invasion of Briton with Hadrian. Some may find redeemable qualities of this book; the attention to details here and there, the actual use of Latin in the text, and the building mysteries, however I found myself not even being able to read this one cover to cover. The plot is vague at first, as each chapter jumps ahead in time too many years to keep up with the characters given to said chapter. Character development is highly lacking, and the religious overtones were a huge turn off; I understand that Christianity was a specific part of the time periods portrayed, but this was unnecessary. Probably should have been placed in the Christian Fiction section.”
