Review: The Legacy of Kings, by Eleanor Herman

Travel back in time to Ancient Greece, where Prince Alexander of Macedonia is just beginning to take on the role of leader. In an age where the Gods have become myths, Alex and the various people in his life begin to explore the past and what it means to possess magic in a world where magic has begun to disappear. With enemies closing in in all directions, Legacy of Kings weaves a story so intricate that readers will have a hard time putting it down.


Above all else, this story is not finished; the multitude of characters makes it hard for readers to connect, and the first-person writing can seem awkward at first. Never fear though—it is the first book in a series! By the end, readers will be so engrossed in the plot and mystery that they will immediately beginning searching for the sequel. Fans of magic, mystery, and history will rejoice in this epic tale of Alexander the Great’s beginning.
