A review by juliarklawrence
The Course of Honor by Lindsey Davis

2.0

So much Roman history made it hard to keep track of the plot. The viewpoint of the protagonist was hard for me to buy-she seemed too worldly for her background and it was hard for me to remember she had spent her first 20+ years as a "slave." Maybe slavery looked different in Ancient Rome than it did in the American South? It was pretty clear to see where this book was going and I didn't necessarily want to go with it. (Again, finished thanks to insomnia!)
