The story was simply absent. The whole thing read as Act One I realize this is the first book in a series, but still. I need a conflict of substance and developed relationships and characters in EACH book, and this didn't deliver. Aug 25, Rebecca Huston rated it really liked it. Story of a well-born young man who becomes a gladiator in Ancient Rome.
Interesting story as long as there's fighting going on, but there are some bad plot holes, plenty of details, not too much silliness for a first novel. Longer review can be found here: OK, so it's a history lesson as taught by Spike TV, but still surprisingly enjoyable -- for those who like to read about the roaring Roman Empire, that is. The history is probably questionable, but Duffy explains some of this in the Introduction. The animal hunts make for nightmarish reading.
Jun 15, Robert Magness rated it liked it. The detail and information is what makes this book so interesting. It's hard to put down, as well, since you get drawn into the world. I knew where it was going the whole time and was confident of the ending, which is not a negative criticism.
