A Winner in the True Sense of the Word
FIVE STARS
Starting a series with Book 4 may not always be a
good thing – except when the content is laid out by a writer like Alison
Morton. No wonder, Aurelia, Book 4 of the Roma Nova Series, is a Finalist for the 2016 Historical
Novel Society Indie Award.
Furthermore,
Aurelia
is a B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree for
excellence in writing. (“Honoree” having nothing to do with “honorable mention.”
This is the real deal.)
While there was plenty of action, the language flowed easily
yet was intelligent; it didn’t need grisly detail or expletives to make you sit
up a little straighter and hold your breath, wondering what was to come next.
Toward the end, I actually became worried I might run out of pages before the
story ended – I did not. But I was sorry to have come to the end of such an
interesting speculative fiction premise.
Thank you, Alison Morton, for the enjoyable hours I spent reading
Aurelia.
