I suppose the shorter time would not have bugged me as much if it felt like the overall story or main character had advanced more in Book 2 than solving the immediate problem presented by the cliffhanger ending of Book 1. The ‘Primal Hunter’ only shaved less than an hour off of Book 1’s 20hr runtime for their own Book 2. The ‘Cradle’ series went up in length over time. 26hrs 44 minutes in Book 1 vs only 13hrs 10mins in Book 2, while the author talks on social media about currently working on Book 5 and 7. I feel like it violates the principle of “Start as you mean to go on” a fair bit. It’s such a shame this book - ‘Silence’, Book 2 of the ‘Unbound’ series - is less than half the length of Book 1.

Though Roman histories tend, for obvious reasons, to downplay the importance of Spartacus, he has in modern times been cited as an inspiring figure to revolutionaries everywhere. Spartacus was killed and some 6,000 of his followers crucified along Appian Way between Capua and Rome. Eventually, the rebel slave was defeated by a Roman army commanded by M. Over the next two years, Spartacus and his ragtag army repeatedly defeated Roman armies and even threatened Rome itself. The uprising began when Spartacus, an enslaved bandit from Thrace (now part of Bulgaria), and about seventy other slaves escaped from a gladiator training school run by Lentulus Batiatus at Capua. From 73-71 B.C., the empire of Rome was shaken by a massive slave rebellion. ![]() ![]() ![]() ***************************************** NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom the celebrated author of Inward comes a new collection of poetry and short prose focused on understanding how past wounds impact our present relationships.In Clarity & Connection, Yung Pueblo describes how intense emotions accumulate in our subconscious and condition us to act and react in certain ways.

In this major new account of the causes of this "First Dark Ages," Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, and the cutting of international trade routes.
