David McK (3935 KP) rated Tyrant (Tyrant, #1) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

I read this book years ago, and had rated it (by memory) with 1 star on Goodreads. Having recently re-read it, I now think that might be a bit harsh.

On the other hand, 2 stars might be a bit generous.

I found this heavy going, slow to start, and not really all that exciting. It's unusual in that it is set in the time of Alexander (the Great), but this Alexander - or more particularly - his army, are actually the villains of the piece, with Kineas and his band of Mercenaries fighting against the invading Macedonians in the company of the Scyths.

Not impressed over all.

Deborah (162 KP) rated Always a Scoundrel (Notorious Gentlemen, #3) in Books

Dec 21, 2018

This is the third and final book in Enoch's The Notorious Gentlemen series. Overall I really enjoyed this, and if in the second book I thought the villains got off a bit too likely, the villain in the third book is really made to pay for his sins! I did wonder how the hero and heroine were going to get out of the sticky situation, but a very good solution indeed!

All three books had strong characters and good storylines and I do like books in a series where you meet characters and then see their story, and they can still turn up in future books.
