Nem ugyanaz nyilván, de van hasonlóság, kezdve azzal, hogy mindkét esetben egy olyan karakter szemszögéből láthatjuk az eseményeket (ott Patroklosz, itt Axios), akik nem lettek volna harcosok, ha bármi beleszólásuk van az életükbe. Sok tekintetben emlékeztet az Akhilleusz dalára. Laikusként érdekesnek találtam, és jó volt olvasni. This review is also available on Goodreads.Alapvető tudással rendelkezem csak ókori történelem és irodalom terén, szóval a könyv hitelességét olyan nagyon megítélni nem tudom. It would appeal to readers who enjoy an engaging historical romance set in ancient time. But overcoming it makes you a man.”Īxios follows the lives of two warriors in their pursuit of happiness amidst trying situations. “To be courageous is to fear death, and yet, charge at the enemy anyhow. Also there was several repeated information throughout the book that could have been cut. I enjoyed the culture and the history from the story but at times it felt like an unnecessary history lesson that was not necessarily significant to the storyline. I love anything Ancient Greek or Roman era, so this book definitely attracted me on first look. My whole world is right here in my hands. “Do not ever leave me, Ax,” he said, gripping the side of my neck and pressing his forehead to mine, still moving inside of me. I was equally invested in the secondary characters who each had their own appeal. I loved seeing how they evolved as individuals and as a couple, and they balanced each other perfectly.
I was invested in Axios and Eryx’s lives. But even with his emotionless exterior, he had a place in his heart for those he cared about.
With his high sense of duty, he thrived in proving himself of his abilities. But to me… he was my home.Įryx was the complete opposite. The perfect makings of a soldier-a leader. He was disciplined and unwavering in his ability to strike a man down. To the rest of the world, he was stern and lacked compassion. He had a different outlook on life and a bleeding heart that often time landed himself in trouble.
I could endure lashings, beatings, starvation, and extreme weather, but losing him would be the one thing to destroy me.Īxios was not a typical a typical Spartan. But as they bonded and feelings started to emerge, they have to decide if love was something worth pursuing in a life full of uncertainties. As trainees of the Spartan military, they endured the harshness of the life of war together.
