Informative? Absolutely!
Engaging, vivid writing? Undoubtedly!
However, the writer's tone was simply unacceptable and her errors are many. How can you place Alexander the Great in the same sentence as Napoleon and Hitler? 50% of your credibility has been lost right there and then. Alexander may have been a ‘megalomaniac' for the writer but who are you? A nobody-knows-your name- ‘‘author''.
Idiotic, uniformed feminism? Oh, yes, please!
We are reminded of the writer's ego every other sentence. We are told that Tacitus did not approve of women leaders 20 times as if we are stupid. We ‘learn' that Ragnar Lothbrok was the father of Halfdan the Black. Excuse me? Do you know of a certain king named Gudrød the Hunter? HE was Halfdan's father.
I don't mean to burst the lovely bubble you have obviously created, but the Romas ‘borrowed' the Greek gods to a percentage of 90%. The Etruscan pantheon was Italy's ‘initial' religion. The Roman pantheon is not ‘equated' to the Greek one. It is the result of a very sophisticated and effective copy-paste.
Are you ACTUALLY a historian?
I doubt it.
