Soldier of Arete

For some reason, this second book in the "Latro" series held onto me a little better than the first, Solder of the Mist. Perhaps it's because I read it over one long weekend rather than over a week. I think it was easier to remember the complicated story line and Greek character names when read all at once. There are still a lot of characters and their names are often long and complex. The plot meandered quite a bit, with there being three parts to the book which made me lose the main plot. But I did like it. Thankfully, I don't have to wait seventeen years like his fans did for the next book. "Soldier of Sidon" came out in 2006 and hopefully brings a conclusion to the story. "Arete" was nominated for a couple of 1990 awards.
