Less than What I had Hoped for,
By TammyJo Eckhart "TammyJo Eckhart" (Bloomington, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Roman Orgy (The New Traveller's Companion) (Paperback)
There is good historical erotica out there; unfortunately this is not one of them.
True much of what we know about Spartacus is Roman fiction, an attempt by the elites to justify their defeats time and again to a slave army but van Heller goes well beyond the historical sources and creates a world of Spartacus' enslavement that is unlikely to have happened. The sex and the people are brutal in this book, the Romans, the slaves, everyone. This becomes overwhelming leaving us with few characters to identify with. The sex descriptions are also fairly blunt, the main objective on every side to humiliate the one with less power. The result is a disappointing book that also cannot fit neatly into the common categories of maledom or femdom, gay or lesbian. It's a free-for-all of nasty, nasty sex and violence.
