I've enjoyed both the Mountain Man series and this one by Blackmore. It's been way to long since the last installment and I had to go back and read the previous novel and novella to catch up.I enjoy the gritty world envisioned by the author, kind of a Rome in the medieval period. The characters are enjoyable and the action and it's description is top-notch.Though plenty of action, like the previous installments, this novel was more involved with pushing the story arch forward and less focused on the tournament actions of the previous novel, a line I can agree with and enjoy IF Blackmore writes a follow-up in a reasonable time, if he lets me go years between again, I will forget what is happening and am not sure if I have the wherewithal to go back to previous novels and "catch-up" with the characters.Again well done and would recommend, with the caveat that you read the previous works in this universe.
