Caligula | Simon Turney
3 posts | 2 read
Rome 37AD. The emperor is dying. No-one knows how long he has left. The power struggle has begun. When the ailing Tiberius thrusts Caligula's family into the imperial succession in a bid to restore order, he will change the fate of the empire and create one of history's most infamous tyrants, Caligula. But was Caligula really a monster? Forget everything you think you know. Let Livilla, Caligula's youngest sister and confidante, tell you what really happened. How her quiet, caring brother became the most powerful man on earth. And how, with lies, murder and betrayal, Rome was changed for ever . . .

What should have been a really interesting book failed to keep my attention. The narrator is Caligula‘s sister, and she has the charisma of a teaspoon. I made it through half of the book before giving up for good.

Has anybody read this? I‘m struggling a little, but maybe I‘m just not in the right mood.

Fascinating fictional look at one of the more notorious Roman emperors. Excellent read. The author foregoes the obvious route and shows how Caligula‘s personality could have developed. Rating: 4 ⭐️

Thanks to Netgalley and publishers, Orion Publishing Group, for the opportunity to review an ARC.
