Tim's narration was excellent and the story easy to get into.

I sometimes find books based on historical events can be a bit tedious, yet Conn continuously highlights key points that lead me to further research by getting me invested in the characters.

Great job Conn

Awesome novel for Greek/Persian 'history'.

liked the action sequences immensely and the detail of the shops. huge boring section in the middle about the plays. Narrator used ridiculous child like voice for Pericles

Poor narration and slow
