This review is from: Alexander (Vol. 1): Child of a Dream v. 1 (Alexander Trilogy) (Kindle Edition)

This is a real enjoyable historic novel, mixing fiction along facts researched by the author.

Great page turner and really enjoyable, first volume of a series of 3. If you are interested into ancient Greece this will help you understand the early life of Alexander the Great until he became into power of what would become the most successful army ever known.

Highly recommended!
