The book can get a little tedious at times, like detailing marches, speeches, and such.
However, it did provide an interesting insight into certain dynamics of the mercenaries that are the focus of the book, such as war councils and electing of generals and commanders, plus some religious beliefs, like pausing a march until certain sacrifices and omens were deemed ok.
The translation was good, and notes helped to provide some historical context.
