| Re: Conn Iggulden
I like Macro most in Scarrow works. I liked Young Bloods and the two legion books i have read. I think Conn is alittle better making great historical character come to live and better prose too but not much different other than that.
Scarrow has more humor. I like the way he writes about the daily life of historical soldeirs in his two series. I hope he improves in Legion series as a writer cause there is huge difference in quality beteween the first book of Legion and Young Bloods who are one of his newest books.
About Young Bloods, i couldnt stand Wesley. He seemed unlikeable even when he became a soldier. Alittle more interesting in the latter half when he became a leader in battles. Napoleon i adored, he was very interesting even as alittle boy. He seemed like the real Napoleon,the little you know about him. He was a force of nature. I hope as you say that Wesley is more likeable in Generals.
Also its easier liking Napoleon going from an immigrant from a small island to a french military genius and hero so fast. His backround history of the avreage man against the rich noble Irish guy who cant do anything without his family doing everything for him. |
