My review:???
Protector by Conn Iggulden is the second book in the Athenian series. You can read my review of The Gates of Athens here.
Protector is set after the Persians have taken Athens, and it’s burning. Themistocles is ready to go to war with the Persians again to reclaim Athens.
This is an action packed book, with lots of fighting, and descriptions of men fighting with swords, but there are also fights of words.
I found this book to be very battle heavy, and have realised that this isn’t something that I always want in my books, but I enjoyed the classical Greek history that inspired this book.
Protector was published on 13th May 2021, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
You can follow Conn Iggulden on the official fan facebook page, run by his publishers.
I was given this book in return for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Penguin Michael Joseph.
