This book was a gift from my friend Reed. I really enjoyed reading this book. If you are at all interested in the Eastern Roman Empire, this is a good pick.

You can tell the author read a lot of Procopious. The history was mostly well founded and follows the timeline of actual events.

My only issue was it got old hearing about how awesome Belisaurius is over and over and over, but now having finished the book, it had to be that way because of how shit on he was at the end.

A nice, fun, historical fiction that really pulls you into the Medieval Greek world.
