Ratings and reviews

a good book. I'm not big on battle scenes, but he does a great job. this is almost as much a fantasy book as historical fiction. fictional story, historical setting, magic.

I found it well thought out with the twist and turns expected in a Wilbur Smith novel. Very enjoyable.

Amazing app ❤️
