I really enjoyed this one. It has been well told and the people are well defined. The story is well woven and the threads are not so convoluted, that you lose track. There is a basic cast list at the front which makes it easier to keep track of who belongs where as the story takes place in essentially 2 different worlds - the world of the Romans and the world of the Britons.
