I have loved 'The Eagle in Snow' since I first borrowed a copy from the local Library as a kid. I still do in spite of the massive spoiler regarding the narrator and the obvious lack of references to the late Roman army. One could almost imagine a movie based on the book going down the same route with the typical attempt to portray the classic Roman legionary look.
Therefore I too bought 'The Legate's Daughter' when it became available post 'Gladiator' and also because of the fantastic cover. When I read it, I was waiting for it to get going and waited and waited and then realised suddenly that I had finished it.
It is amazing how two novels by the same author could be so different.
