Emperor by Stephen Baxter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book stood out for me. It's historical fiction, and it's a great introduction to why "historical fiction" deserves it's own category. It complimented my world history classes very well. It painted a great picture of day to day life in ancient England. It focused on a historical event and made it interesting. The characters were believable but brief. The book seemed to be concerned with history and if it didn't have much to do with world event's, it kept things brief. That could be a negative for a lot of people, but it worked for me.
