A wonderful historical novel of ancient Rome

A winning and engaging combination of character development, a fascinating story, adventure and romance have hooked me on this series. The excellent narration adds to the experience.Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys stories of the history of the Roman conquest of Britain and also is interested in the history of the native Britons and what happened to them.

Teen romance, not adult historical fiction

Sadly, this was a teen romance yarn, and definitely not serious adult historical fiction. Not that I read teen romance, mind you. But, if I did, I might have found this book palatable. But since I don't, I didn't (find it palatable, that is). I was only able to finish it by turning up the speed on playback to 2.2 times normal. The narrator was ok, except for female voices that were shades of Monty Python ( this obviously dates me). The part of the story near the end in Pompeii rescued the book a bit, keeping it from being a total flop and allowing me to be generous in rating it 2 stars. If you are looking for authentic adult historical fiction set in Roman Empire times, please look elsewhere.
