- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great overview of three civilizations. I particularly liked the Inca section as I knew so little about that culture. My only complaint is the Byzantine section focused on wars and religion but didn’t dive into the everyday life of the Greeks like it did the Incas and Maya. But still a well researched and fun read.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Sadly this book is full of historical inaccuracies and mispronunciations.
