It’s need a second reading and I don’t know why but it’s just sitting there, in my chest. Need to read it a 2nd time to really understand. Also, it would be best to have some little knowledge of ancient macedon and Greece, of Alexander’s story before you read - it can get a little complicated.

Amazing book I gotta say. I had to stop reading it in the middle because of my exams. I wish I could finish it without taking a break. Because it’s filled with events and because of the break I kind of forgot what was actually happening xD anyways. I thought I’d take a break from history and read more of a recently released book. But I accidentally listened to a few lines of “the Persian boy” and yes I’ve changed my mind. I think I’ll love the Persian boy too!

Almost IMPOSSIBLE to put down. Absolutely gorgeous and firmly scratched an Alexander-the-Great-sized itch <3
