I very much enjoy the characters and the dialog in this book. The tactics and battles that take place as well as the weapons and logistics involved are very interesting and informative.  I do get a bit irritated with Pacorus's father, Varaz,  and his attitude of appeasement.  No matter what Mithridates and his henchman, Narses, do, even send assassins to kill his son or invade Parthian kingdoms, Varaz keeps suggesting that nothing be done except talk about it.  Still, it is a very engrossing novel.
