I didn't hate this book. I was just unfamiliar with everything about it. It was all too strange to be enjoyable or informative.
I chose this ancient Greek book written in ancient times because of my alphabet reading challenge for the letter 'X'. It was fun and different in the beginning, but it quickly became a drag and boring to read.
There just seemed to be never ending strange names of characters, their complicated relationships and never ending war campaigns, military tactics, counter war campaigns and betrayals. It was a tangled web.
I just got lost in the unfamiliar names, even weirder place names of places with different names in our time etc. And now it's too much of an effort to get into it after putting it down for a few months. At least I managed to try something way outside my reading comfort zone and I'm proud of that.
