The book seemed to factual and I was unable to follow the content very well. It seemed more like a textbook than a non-fiction read, and I was looking for a nonfiction read with more anecdotes.

A bit heavy and slow to slog through (you really gotta remember who's who and what's what throughout!), but it is definitely a good history book about the period, going into lots of detail and providing a good commentary about the happenings throughout.

An engaging read for a fascinating period of history. The book is easy to follow, a good introduction to the Hellenistic period and the growing threat of Rome with a focus on political intrigues, successions, and battles. An interesting book and I’d like to read further on the impact, the progress and accomplishments during this time in history. Thank you very much to the publisher and NetGalley for this advanced reader’s copy.

This book was great brush-up on Greek History and a good reminder how smart and humble the Greek civilization was/is. Even though I read about Greek History before, this book was able to still introduce me to important Greek actors of that fascinating yet so intricate and rich historic period.

Pick this one up if you want to better understand that period.

Thank you Net Galley and Penn & Sword Military for this e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

It's a well researched and well written book, informative and entertaining at the same time.
I liked the style of writing and how the book is organised.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
