A brilliant series. My only gripe is that they switched readers for the second half of the series and he pronounces all of the character names differently which jars as he reads: Servillia becomes Serwillia; Octavian becomes Octarwian.

Changed the Reader!

I loved this series, I learnt so much about Roman History and Julius Caesar, even though the author does admit taking a little poetic licence with the some of the timelines and historic facts to make more of a story, but this didn't detract from it at all for me. Nor did Paul Blake's narrative, which yes, is different from Robert Glenister who was also excellent, but I think he does a brilliant job in interpreting the cast and giving them each their own different characterisation. A thoroughly enjoyable series. I can't wait to start Conn Iggulden's Emporer series.

Fascinating Series

I have enjoyed all of the books so far but was disappointed when the narrator changed from Robert Glenister to Paul Blake in book 3 as I found his style more difficult to listen to. The narrator has changed again for the last book - hopefully it will not take so long to adapt to his style.....

A great culmination to the original series of 4 books.

If you’ve been through the series you’ll know the narrator change for book three was a bit of a shock to the system but if you’ve been through book three at least this time around you’ll be settled in with the pronunciation changes so it’s less intrusive.

It all leads to this

narrator is bad, but the story is brilliant, I've read the book and there are bits I had forgotten. Conn has an incredible way of making you feel like you know Julius and generates a genuinely exciting story that takes you through the life of Julius and the people he interacts with. I especially like the historical notes which are honest and highlight where Conn has expanded on the truth or where there are characters that have been fabricated to assist the narrative. Unfortunately the narrator let's the book down, not only because of the speech impediment but the emphasis and tone varies wildly, but into he wrong places in my opinion. all that being said still worth a listen.
