Crossboarding brainlet here.

If could recommend similar ones (as in no frills and straight to the point writing style, historically minded without being arid, etc.) that would be sweet, it's literally the only novel that kept me hooked from the beginning to the end.

Listen to whoever narrates this one though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IUzOnHaTEE&t=8187s It changes the entire experience. There's even a comment that simply says, "this book sucks" and no one disagrees. It's the narration that makes it.

There's a hell of a lot in the first book that only makes sense upon reading the rest of it. On my initial read through I preferred the later volumes, but after having read the whole thing multiple times it's the first book I like most.

BTW - keep one eye on the names of the characters. Are they named after Catholic saints, or are they Latin, or are they Greek. Because that classification has plenty of meaning to the story.
