Sorry that you felt the characters were cliched. And if you read the sequel, I hope you enjoy it!

I just read a review of this on Vera (Luxury Readings). It is also nice to view this kind of history from the part of the conquered rather than the conqueror.

Nice review. I am growing to love historical fiction and this book is one of the reasons why. It is very well written with 3 dimensional characters. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

I’m glad you’ll read the next one! That’s always a good sign.

And I know, some things in books bug me, but for whatever reason the twins in The Forgotten Legion, cliched as they may be, totally appeal to me. LOL

Thanks for being on this tour!

I love historical fiction and this one sounds like a good one. There is a similar book to this called The Last Legion by Valerio Massimo Manfredi. It was actually made into a movie (starring Colin Firth, among others). It was an okay movie. I found out it was based on a book and I picked it up at a used book sale. Have not read it yet, but my bet is that it’s better than the movie.

Nice review!
