The novel is a slow-burner; much of the first part established personal relationships, including a love interest. The novel really didn't pick up for me until it began to describe storms at sea and the various sea fighting. The "diekplous" maneuver was interesting in how it was used successfully by the Athena Nike. I don't know how accurate the fighting was, but it was certainly exciting. I hope there will be a third novel to wind up the War--Salamis and Plataea still have to be fought--and to put closure to Mandrocles's life. The fact Mandrocles kept addressing the reader of his memoir and as it were, speaking to us, annoyed me. I apologize for erring in my review of [The luck bringer] by confusing Brasidas, the Spartan, and friend of Mandrocles, a completely fictional character, with the historical Brasidas.
