The Field of Swords

Spot!

Bumping to see who's still in. This hasn't been the most popular series so far.

I'm in.

I’m going to be pretty late to this one. Probably start next week.

I'm starting a little bit late, even if all I am going to do is moan about the author and his frustrating re-writing of history. (sorry, can't help it!)

I’m right there with you.

I'll be a few days late as well so no worries.

Something that struck me while we were reading the last book - why is this series called Emperor? I thought Augustus was the first to use that title.

Maybe that will be the ending.

Started today and am about halfway through. I have the same issues with this book as the others in the series. There cracks are starting to appear in the Caesar/Brutus friendship.

One thing I absolutely hate is the new narrator. His pronunciation for Octavian infuriates me everytime I hear it.

One good thing about this series is it's improving my knowledge of the period - I'm checking details online and then snarling 'No he/she wasn't!' or 'That didn't happen!'
