Book Review - The Lion by Conn Iggulden⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️With thanks to @netgalley and @penguinrandomhouse for the ARC。Lion is the first in Iggulden's new Golden Age series, though it follows on from the Athenian series。 This follows young Pericles after the Greek victories of Salamis and Plataea as he tries to make a name for himself and step out of his father's shadow。 --As you know, I love all things ancient history so this was exactly my cup of tea。 Conn Iggulden is one of those authors who you can Book Review - The Lion by Conn Iggulden⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️With thanks to @netgalley and @penguinrandomhouse for the ARC。Lion is the first in Iggulden's new Golden Age series, though it follows on from the Athenian series。 This follows young Pericles after the Greek victories of Salamis and Plataea as he tries to make a name for himself and step out of his father's shadow。 --As you know, I love all things ancient history so this was exactly my cup of tea。 Conn Iggulden is one of those authors who you can rely on telling a great story, weaving fact and fiction seamlessly - and this is no exception。 He brings ancient Greece to life and the battlescenes are BREATHTAKING。 There is a great balance with character / plot development and the political machinations are well explored, adding an extra layer。 There was a pronunciation guide and who's who at the beginning of the book - honestly, I am one of those pedantic people who will sit debating with myself on how to pronounce words in my head for far too long, so this was much appreciated 🤣🤣 This is out on 26th May。 。。。more

In this third book of Iggulden’s series, we follow the early career of Pericles, son of Xanthippus。 Much of it is imagined as little is known of Pericles’ early life and many of the events of this period were unrecorded until much later。 His generation followed in the footsteps of those who fought at Marathon, Thermopylae and Salamis and sought to emulate their heroes。As always, I enjoyed learning a little more about life in Ancient Greece, particularly about theatre and The Festival of Dionysus In this third book of Iggulden’s series, we follow the early career of Pericles, son of Xanthippus。 Much of it is imagined as little is known of Pericles’ early life and many of the events of this period were unrecorded until much later。 His generation followed in the footsteps of those who fought at Marathon, Thermopylae and Salamis and sought to emulate their heroes。As always, I enjoyed learning a little more about life in Ancient Greece, particularly about theatre and The Festival of Dionysus。 As before, the battle scenes are exciting and are seen from both sides of the field。 The horror of what soldiers faced in the days of hand to hand combat is drawn in enough detail to appreciate it without being too gory, thankfully。 No doubt, the fourth book of the series will follow Pericles in his later life and I will look forward to that。3 stars because I didn’t find it as compelling as the first two in the series。 With thanks to Michael Joseph, Penguin Random House and NetGalley for a review copy。 。。。more

Another informative and absorbing story about the wars between the Persians, Athenians and Spartans。 Non stop action and intrigue。 A great cast of characters, even if of a bloodthirsty mien。 The Historical additions at the make it all real。 I look forward to the finale。

I really enjoyed this book。 It was my first by this author but after reading this book it wont be my last。 well written with a compellng storyline that had obviously been incredibly well researched and well developed characters that all added to the plot or atmosphere in some way。 The knowledge in the book was high level without feeling like a text book, I am an Ebglish Literature/History major and I leart a lot from this book and it didnt even feel like learning。 I really loved it。
