Query: Still enjoyable

As the Roma Subrosa novels advance foward, the mix between actual historical events and bogus Ancient characters becomes incrasingly unmanageable. In this novel, that beegins to show off often too much, as the plot is contrived (specially the "mystery") and the characters increasingly stilted. Nonethless, Saylor, as always, did his homework, and has much to say about Roman siegeworks and siege warfare, government in a subject Greek city and its relations towards Rome, that he manages to keep the novel actually intersting and compelling.
