pickA very good read. Unfortunately, there are few reliable sources so the author is obliged to describe the circumstances and surmise the effect. Nevertheless, it was very informative and interesting. Certainly it also has a modern point to make in discussing refugees and immigration.
pickThis was really interesting. It tells the history of the fall of Rome from the perspective of Alaric, who certainly had a hand in it. One focus of the book is what it was like to be seen as an outsider despite spending years living within the Roman Empire and actually working for them as a general but never being granted the rights of a citizen.
pick11/12 📚 Easy read and interesting, want to know what happens in the rest of the trilogy. Builds the character of Attila well, but *something* is missing, and he never fully connects. ⭐️ 7/10
pan⭐️⭐️ Bland and far duller than I expected. I learned some new information about the early church from this novel, but as a whole I didn‘t like this much. Only finished it due to being stuck in a car all day
