  Easy to read LitRPG set in a Roman themed game. Doesn't pretend to be historical fiction, it the story of a gamer having fun in a game world, with good progression, a cunning player rival in the opposing faction and historical NPC's that interact with the players.

  It was an enjoyable read and I will be buying the sequel.

  The history is absolutely spot on, but considering the period is relatively very well detailed, the fiction part does not add all that much.

  Waiting for the second one. I like the idea of historical places and people deviating from what actually happened. Caesar dying in Alexandria was a surprise!

  LitRPG is often a hit-and-miss for me, more likely to be a miss than a hit. Often the characters are shallow, the plot repetitive and the prose poor.

  None of this applies to Caesar's Shadow! This is a fantastic book I enjoyed from start to finish.

  I'm a sucker for everything antique and ancient Rome in particular, so I was excited to dive into this world and it didn't disappoint.

  We follow gamer Matt, who plays the brand-new VRMMORPG Gods & Kings for the first time. In this game you enter ancient Rome at its most interesting time: Caesar is about to sack the republic to become its sole ruler.

  Matt has the choice of which faction he wants to join: the Imperials (Caesar), the Republicans (Pomepei and Cicero), Egypt (Cleopatra) or one of the many rebel factions in Greece, Gaul or Carthago.

  Naturally, he chooses Caesar's legion and a unique adventure begins.

  As the story advances we meet Caesar, Marc Anthony, Cicero, Octavian, Cleopatra and many other historical personalities who appear in the game as NPCs. Matt soon finds it's quite a challenge to navigate Rome's political intrigues and stay alive, but the NPCs aren't his biggest problems, other players are. Everyone wants the ultimate power and some are completely ruthless in their efforts to achieve it...

  I absolutely loved the world the author has created here! If you know a little bit about history, you'll quickly realize how much research went into this book, as despite being LitRPG, the author puts a lot of care into historical accuracy. All historical characters are well-written and believable and Matt is a likable main character.

  All the time I was thinking: damn, I would LOVE to play this game!

  I highly recommend this book to fans of historical fiction and LitRPG readers who seek something different than the usual stories.

  This book was a lot of fun and I can't wait for the sequel!

  Wanting to do 3.5 but rounded up

  I'm not one to harp on grammar unless there are just way too many mistakes. However, continuity and keeping names correct tends to bug me a little. Minor Spoilers possibly to follow. One thing that stood out was how the MC's female soldier in his unit kept being written as Tullia(one of the MCs rivals) instead of her actual name when conversations happened. It started early on but was really prevalent during the Greece campaign. I felt this book was kind of like watching a gamer stream on Twitch. It is really just us reading about a guy playing a video game. No portals to another world, no apocalypse, or alien takeover. I felt the build up could have been better between the MC and his rival who wanted to rewrite Roman history. Heh, at times it felt like I was watching Rome again as I was reading the book. I liked how mythical beings were adding into the story. All in all not a bad first book and far better than anything I could do and I'm still on fence if I would read a second book in the series unless a few changes happen.
