A short, but great read. It's a tragic war series with the main character and his love being caught in the middle.
Damippos is a Spartan that's more of a brains over brawns type of guy. He learns under Archimedes, who is a brilliant inventor. The problem is, they're in Syracuse. Syracuse was in a time of turmoil.

finds it nonsensical. He finds the warmongering generals to be insane, and lacks empathy. What's great about this series is that if takes a snap shot of an event and criticizes the needless acts of war, along with discrimination of others. Calling out politicians as arrogant, and war generals as insane.
The ending is abruptly wrapped up, but it's done brilliantly. Similar to a series like River's Edge or Pink, it has the ending be cut and dry, but also allows you to ponder on the ending. Allows you to think and soak in the message of the work of art.
