The Colossus of Rhodes by Caroline Lawrence
4.0
Book 9 of 17 down! Not many more to go now! This is definitely one of the ones where my memory of any previous reads starts to fail me, because I didn’t remember loads of this book which actually didn’t detract from my enjoyment of it because I was able instead to approach it as a brand new story which was fun.
I really appreciated being able to learn more about Lupus and his background and it was interesting seeing the journey from Italy across to Greece and how that could potentially have looked at the time. It was also interesting to see how exactly that fell alongside the journey of the Argonauts which is mentioned quite heavily in the story as well.
I think I’ve said before that I can’t remember exactly where I was in this series when I stopped reading them so I’m not sure at what point it will go from a reread to a “reading for the first time” but I feel like it’s coming up soon.
