Not his best
It starts well and ends well. The middle however did nothing for me. The historical note at the end provides context for it. I wish I could give it 3.5 as 3 seems harsh but it was never a 4*
I don’t know who makes the narrator decisions but yet again they’ve dropped the ball. This clearly continues on from the Athenian series book 1 and 2 yet it’s a different guy who has the most ridiculous voices for some of the protagonists. They messed up the Emperor series and the Khan series and for me it’s a big deal as I like repeat listens when it’s we’ll narrated.

Below Par
I love CI's books, he's a fantastic writer and tells this period of history so we'll. However, this book was very disappointing compared to others CI has done. I'm glad it wasn't my first of his books as I wouldn't have went onto read others he's done after this. I am hoping the second book in this series will be better so will be reading that one. The narrator here was really off putting

Greece
antiquity fascinates me, but not being a scholar I enjoy historical fiction, and along with Christian Cameron, Conn Igulldon is a master storyteller, books full of daily life and lots of research into the main characters.
not as entertaining as other works I will still look forward to book 2, and the rise of Periclles.
Tim mcinnery narrates well but lacks excitement in battles.
all round, enjoyable.

Disappointing
I’m a big fan of the Author so was disappointed by this book. I never finished listening to it as it was very dry, I’m not sure if it was content or narrator but it just didn’t work for me.

Good but below Iggulden’s normal high standard
Good story but lacked the excitement of other Iggulden books and because his books are generally of a high standard, I was a bit disappointed.

Interesting listen
A good story with strong characters. Extremely well read by the actor, with each individual clearly identifiable.

Lord Percy
I have enjoyed many Conn Iggulden’s audiobooks so was looking forward to another. Unfortunately, this one was spoiled by Tim McInnerny using Lord Percy’s, from Blackadder, inflection for the voice of Pericles. This, for me, resulted in the character coming across as an immature boy. Carried on to the end as the subject was interesting.

Excellent
First class narration. Gripping story. What more can you ask for ? Can’t wait to listen to the next in the series.

Great story and great reader
It was a great story. The reader was very good at enacting the characters. Listening to this book was a great pleasure.
