Book Reviews of The Eagle of the Ninth
Book Review: Satisfying read, even for an adult
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is skillfully done in many ways. The story is smooth and the pacing good. There are several exciting and suspenseful parts. If you are an adult you might think of this as chocolate ice cream rather than double fudge macadamia crunch. Good, but not overly complex.
One of the reviewers imagines some kind of wrong relationship between a 20 something man and a 13 year old girl. If anything like that is implied, it must be awful subtle because I didn't see it. Anyway, in ancient times it wasn't unusual for girls as young as 13 to get married. When average life expectancies were in their 30's, you had to start families young.
Summary of The Eagle of the Ninth
In a.d. 125, a young Roman centurion must recover the infamous Ninth Legion's missing symbol of honor, the eagle standard.
