The Eagle of the Ninth Chronicles

I have read these three books and have found them to be a great look into the Roman Era. Sutcliff presents the scenes beautifully and captures the hearts of readers young( my age, 12) to older people. The books are only slightly related to each other and a few themes are recurring creating a familiar feel to her writing style. I have enjoyed many of her books and thhis one is no exception, beacause several are set in the same time period which not only provides an entertaining read but you can LEARN things about the culture. Sutcliff has a great descriptive mind and it is evident in this series of books. She's probably the best author I've encountered in my short life. Some other of my favourite books by her are Simon, Warrior Scarlet, and Bonnie Dundee. I recommend these books due to the fact they are very good at showing the real side of history not just the fancy-free silly stuff we hear about in other books.
