Praetorian

The book feels richly detailed yet keeps the action moving. I'm curious whether historical research shaped the narrative or if creative liberties were taken to enhance the thrill.

The betrayals and alliances kept me guessing, but I wondered how much of that was driven by the author's interpretation of Roman politics versus real history.

Their role as both protectors and power brokers was fascinating. I wonder if the author drew from specific historical sources or envisioned a new perspective.
