Heather Domin

I was excited to read this continuation of Dardanus's and Valerian's adventures. Well written novel of the further maturing of a young man fighting with the legions in Germania under Drusus Germanicus. I liked the personal story between Valerian and Dardanus--their differences over the ambitious Drusus. These and other attitude differences bring them to an impasse. How will they repair their tattered relationship? The author brought in Dardanus's friends and others from the first novel and has introduced us to more sympathetic characters, especially the young slave boy, Karwe. I loved Heather's descriptive nature passages--reminiscent to me of Bryher in her novel, Roman Wall.

Highly recommended.… (mais)
