review 1: The Seven Wonders tells about the youthful travels of a character who continues to appear in many of the author's, Steven Saylor, other books. Gordianus is a Roman-citizen, only 18 at this point, who embarks on a "world tour" with his former teacher, a Greek. Many mysteries ensue, and the young hero is quite adept at solving them--but he cannot see the deceptions that are occurring in front of his nose. I might even be interested in reading the subsequent historical, murder-mystery novels.
review 2: I love Steven Saylor, and it is always a rare treat to discover that he’s released a new title. I am not, however, a great fan of the short story. To my mind it doesn’t allow for the kind of character and plot development I need if I’m going to be immersed ... morein a story, so despite its brilliant conceit and Saylor’s extraordinary research, this book was destined to leave me wanting more. So imagine my delight to discover there’s a follow-up! I cannot wait. less
