Review: The Macedonian

The Macedonian by Nicholas Guild
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book is a two parter in one book. The first half of the book is about two people destined to have conflict. What happens is that once that is resolved the second half is about a boy be coming a King. The thing to remember is that this story is based on historical figures. There really was a King whose son became one of the great figures of Western civilization. To read the story of that mans father might seem boring but Alexander the Greats father was anything but boring. That's the point that this story drives forward. Phillip of Macedon was an interesting figure in his own rights. This is part of what made his son so incredible since the son surpassed the father in what he accomplished. A good story if like Greek history but don't want to hear about a ton if mythology.
