Awesome novel for Greek/Persian 'history'.

Tim's narration was excellent and the story easy to get into.

I sometimes find books based on historical events can be a bit tedious, yet Conn continuously highlights key points that lead me to further research by getting me invested in the characters.

Great job Conn
