A review by mazza57
The Gates of Athens by Conn Iggulden

5.0

I received an ARC copy of this book. After I had requested and received it, I wondered what had drawn me to it in the first place. It really was not my normal read. I am very interested in mythology but this didn't really fit with that genre. However, Conn Iggulden has drawn me into a timeand place that i could never have envisaged. it took a little time but Xanthippe in particular became someone i was so engrossed in. The wars, the home life, the rules the loyalty OMG this is just the best. I have to read more by this author. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read something i would never have bought in the shop.
