David McK (3496 KP) rated Brothers of the Sword (Warrior #5) in Books

Jun 3, 2023

Entry number 4 (of 5) in Simon Scarrow & Tj Andrews's 'Warrior' series of novellas, in which the Catuvellaunian tribe go to war against the Atrabates, with Caratacus here first experimenting with the guerilla tactics he would later use against the Roman invaders.

As with the previous three entries, this is presented as the elderly Caratacus, whilst in exile in Rome, recounting his experiences to a Roman historian, with the sub-plot that this may be bringing that historian unwelcome attention from Nero's officials.

As also before - and as required by the fact that this is a novella - it's also a rather short read, complete with it's own 'intro' and 'outro'

Yara Shahidi recommended The Odyssey in Books (curated)

"The Odyssey” was first book I read with my Grampie at four-years-old and was my introduction to the mesmerizing tales of Roman and Greek Mythology. Not only is this book a classic, with plenty of recognizable tales, but truly a whimsical experience of triumph, love, and hardship."

Aww...well she got her happy ever after but not before another emotional rollercoaster.

I loved the immortal gang; Peter, Cody and Hugh. Roman was cool in this one. Jerome was an arse and Carter was awesome--I think i fell in love with him by the end.
