The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff

This book was actually okay, it just wasn't my type. Like most historical fiction I've read, the book was hard to get into and the beginning was boring. After a while, I could more easily understand what was happening (because beside my studies, I wasn't very familiar with the culture).
It was well written, very interesting- just not my type so I couldn't exactly love it.
The book is based on Rome in historical times and is about a boy, Marcus, who sets off on a journey to find the truth about the ninth legion and their lost eagle.
Anyone who likes a good adventure, or a nice historical fiction, or is learning about Rome, I'd suggest this book.
I rate this book a 7.3/10
