Review of 'The History Of Rome' on 'Storygraph'
3 stars
It's a nice, short read, and I appreciate that this is a standalone novel. The story is not really here or there for me: It has a little spice (would say 2/5), it has some adventure, the premise is engaging. Good for spending a rainy afternoon without committing to a whole series, or as a palate cleanser.
The writing itself is fine, pacing is ok (a little hurried towards the end). I liked the characters, but I'm not suffering from any hangovers. The story is novella-length though, so there isn't that much time and space to really feel a lot of connection with them.
