I loved the first book, but this one is even better! We learn so much more about both of their worlds and the history in this book is incredible! I've never been much into history, but after reading this book I did a fair amount of research into Elizabethan Europe and it was amazing to learn all the little details in the book that actually happened! Even if you are not interested in history, I highly recommend this book for it's incredible story.

This is my new favorite series. It's well written and uses vivid imagery! The twist and turns they gave in the book were not the typical things you see in a romance... even in a fantasy based world. I can't recommend this highly enough!! If you saw the tv series, it was terrible in comparison to the book.

I enjoyed this book, but as a fairly new Stoic I found a lot of it hard to understand. I got this version because it said it was adapted for the modern reader. That's true in terms of the language
used (it's all in modern common English) , but there is little insight into what was meant by certain things. It was like reading the Bible and trying to apply it to your life... it's not an easy thing to do.

I loved this! It gives lots of practical advice you can use to start practicing stoicism as well as bit of history so that you can understand why Markus did certain things. Having the background of what he was going through when writing different parts of the meditations also helps make his meaning more clear. This was the first book I read about stoicism and it has launched me on a life long path to being a stoic!

This book is definitely filled with good info about stoicism if your a beginner. It gives background info on it's history as well as it's principles and ways to implement it into your life. However, there were some very frustrating parts. For example, when talking about how to deal with difficult people it offered the extreme meaningless and unhelpful tactic of "learn to cope with it". it doesn't give any info on how you might go about doing that or different techniques to try or anything, it just basically said that if your struggling with something or someone, deal with it.... super helpful :/ In that same paragraph it goes on to offer other ways of dealing with difficult people, "....be true and honest with yourself, and never compromise your values." That's great super genetic advise. It feels like the author was like, "I don't actually know much about this point, but it's important to the philosophy so I can't leave it out.... oh! I'll just write a bunch of vague and universally true ideas to cover up that I don't know how to do this." BTW, this is a very unstoic thing to do.
Additionally, whomever is doing the reading is not great. The narrator sounds at times extremely robotic and at other times uses inflections on words and sentences in weird places. It feels like the narrator is at times a computer and at other time perhaps not a native English speaker? There is no accent or anything, just weird intonations and infacis is the wrong part of words which I found very distracting.
Lastly, I just want to reiterate that overall I thought this book did have lots of good info and is definitely worth reading.
