I really enjoyed this book!!!

I believe my experience was elevated by watching Alexander on Netflix. I wish I‘d also watched one on Genghis Kahn.

Extra rating for that cover!!

This story is everything the publishers summary says it is and more!!

Such a rushed lame review. Just read & enjoy it! Now I need that pretty hard cover on my shelf …. Amazon Book Wishlist!!

ENJOY!!
