Ben Kane nails it again. I really enjoyed this book for exactly the reason in the sub title, “Clash of Empires. Kane does an excellent job portraying larger than life historical figures such as Flaminius and Phillip the 5th, while at the same time giving you a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers on both sides of the conflict. Historical fiction of its best.

What a finish. It’s rare that I enjoy the sequel more then the original, but “The Falling sword” absolutely crushed it.
Eager to jump back into “Legions vs Phalanx’”, Ben Kane really fleshed our the character arcs further. Felix and Philip’s stories really rounded out especially, their futures..... uncertain.Flaminius I really didn’t enjoy in the first book, his revenge ultimately really satisfying.
Love seeing Arimnestos and Hanno make an appearance, what a cross-over!

Nichts herausragendes im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Romanen, die ich gelesen habe, aber interessant durch die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und Charaktere. Insgesamt ein guter Abschluss für den Konflikt, aber ich hätte mir weniger abrupte Enden für die Charaktere gewünscht.
