Susan

Great material handled badly
I usually like historical fiction, and am interested in both Classical and British history, so I thought I would enjoy this book, but I *really* didn't. I found it poorly written, with both plot and prose *way* over the top at times. The occasional bodice-ripper tone was annoying, and the many historically inaccurate details were distracting. It’s unfortunate that such great material was dealt with so poorly.
