Have just read the first one, lent by a mate and really enjoyed it, which surprised me as don't normally go for historical fiction.
Have ordered the other three of the series from Amazon. Was this a good idea?
Anyone else read them?
PS Please don't reveal the plot details if you have!

I have read all of them, if you liked the first one you will be very happy with the rest. I found the idea of the dreamers quite hard to get into at first, but once I understood it I loved it.

I learnt quite a lot as well which is always nice

If you like these you might want to try Conn Iggulsen Emporer series. It is the same historical fiction idea but based around Julius Ceaser. Very interesting,

Cheers KezzaG.
Agree re the dreamers and the educational aspect. Dropped history as soon as I could at school but quite enjooy it now I'm older.
May try the Roman series you mention.
Anyone from the daytime crowd got an opinion?
