    The plot keeps you hooked and is very well divided into its chapters, so that you constantly want to read the next one. I found the ending exceptional, as well as the fact of the historical and geographical accuracy of the whole narrative. The descriptions of the battles are vivid and at the same time without exaggeration. I would highly recommend it.
