Whereas before this could be slightly jarring (moving from Rome to, eg, Alexandria, and then back to Rome), it works slightly better in this novvel as some of the characters are working their way back to the seat of the Roman Republic eventually taking it section about within the environs of the city.
As the series has been working up to, the novel also culminates in the fateful Ides of March, with the infamous assissination of Julius Caesar in the forum by a disgruntled group of nobles.
The series as whole was readable enough, and while I may read a few more by this author, I doubt I'll be going out of my way to look for them.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Rule (Marked Men, #1) in Books
Jan 7, 2021
I liked this, though I thought it was a little too long.
Rule was cool, he's a tattooed, pierced bad boy who slept around with anyone who was up for it at the start and in a way, I didn't like it. Then we met Shaw and I liked her influence on him. They may be polar opposites but they compliment each other quite nicely.
All the main characters were pretty amazing; Nash, Rome, Jet, Ayden, Cora, Rowdy...if I missed anyone I'm sorry! They were a fun bunch and I liked their interaction, teasing and flirting with each other.
I'm kinda sad that I missed "meeting" Remy, he seemed like he was a great person; friend and brother, and I understand why he didn't tell anyone his secret, though I kinda figured it out by about half way through.
A nice start to the series and I look forward to reading Jet, Rome and Nash's stories too.

1st-century Britannia is the setting for an epic and action-packed novel of tribal uprisings,...
Natasha Solomons has given Cleopatra her own voice - and what a voice it is. She considers herself a goddess, her rule is absolute, and she won’t even put up with family going against her.
Egypt and Rome are the big players here, and seeing the contrast between the two superpowers was interesting, especially as Rome had such a low opinion of women. Cleopatra uses this to her own ends though, and Solomon is careful not to turn her into a seductress. Everything she does (with regards to Caesar), she does for Egypt.
Will we see a follow up book? We leave Cleopatra at about the halfway point of her life, so I really hope so!!
