I bought this book because reading the back of it made it seem really interesting. The Roman Empire is still around in the 21st century, still has all the things we associate with the Roman Empire like the Emperor,slavery and crucifiction but also with 21st century technology. In theory it sounds like the basis for a really good story but I didn't think it worked very well.The characters are unlikeable and I really didn't care if they lived or died. This is the first in a trilogy and I certainly won't be looking for the next two parts.
The only reason that I kept on reading it is because I hate to leave a book unfinished,in total this book took me about a month to read as I kept putting it down and reading other books instead. I am hoping that one day I'll be able to give up on a book that is really bad. ( )
