Alexander by Valerio Massimo Manfredi

Did not finish book. Stopped at 37%.

I was enjoying this at the start but have ended up getting quite bored. Alexander is set up as so noble and godlike from the start that there's really no character arc or progression? There's leaning into the legend of Alexander and then there's instant godhood with no struggle. The narration style felt weirdly non-fiction at times - there would be stretches that felt they could have been lifted from a biography that quickly summarised events which would then go into a heavy dialogue interaction etc. Just not feeling invested enough to continue!
