Clash of Eagles by Alan Smale
3.0
I found Clash of Eagles a good read, face paced and interesting take on alternative history. I think there was more that could have been explored, and it had slight hints of white savior in it that I wasn't too fond of, but it still handled it better than I could have thought. I would probably reread it, and I'm definitely going to grab the next book from the library next chance I get.
I feel like really more should have been done to give more backstory to how the world is the way it is in this story. It's a what if the Roman Empire never fell and discovered America story, but why didn't the Romans fall. Also why did their technology stagnate, or at least it felt stagnated compared to what the Cahokians and Iroquan had. It sort of nagged me the whole book.
