I always look forward to a new historical fiction book by Nicholas Guild and this one didn’t disappoint.
Excellent historical romance, very well written and a definite page turner. As usual with this author.
*I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*I was initially drawn this book because I'm a lover of ancient history, and I wanted to know more about this period in ancient Greece. I received this book back in November, but I found it hard to get into. I set it aside, especially as the busy holiday season came around, not sure if I would finish it. But I went back to it, pushed through the first few chapters, and around 35%, I found myself drawn in to the story of Philip and his character and quickly finished it from there. While most people only know his son, Philip of Macedon was instrumental in Greek history. His battle strategies revolutionized war. He united the Greek city-states before pushing beyond those borders, a mantle that Alexander the Great took up.This book covers Philip’s life from his birth to his victory over the Illyrians, which cemented his place as a strong leader and a general to be feared. I felt like the writing was a mix between a novel and a history book, which perhaps is why it took me awhile to get into it. The author vividly brought ancient Greece to life: the religion, the culture, the food, the politics. Battle strategies and formations were discussed in detail, and while I couldn't quite picture the specifics, it was enough for me to understand the significance of how those tactics ensured victory.Guild focuses on the character and personality of Philip, and how Philip never aspired to be king, but rather strove to support his two elder brothers in their kingship. Indeed, it supports the idea that those best suited for power are those who don't necessarily want it. The author also delves into the other characters that lived alongside Philip: his brothers, his enemies, and other significant people along his path in life who taught him the essential skills he would need one day to unite his people and be a king. While I don't know how much is based on historical fact or is pure speculation, the characters came alive in the pages of the book and it was easy to see them as true living, breathing people, rather than just names in a history book.Overall, not a book I think I would have picked up on my own, but ended up being a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the intimate look into the life and character of one of history's more influential men. I would recommend for lovers of ancient history!
I’ve always been a fan of Greek and Roman history. I find that it puts our modern hubris in its place. The accomplishments, voyages, conquests and architecture of this period puts modern technology to shame. You didn’t need all of our modern conveniences to conquer the world or build awe-inspiring buildings.Alexander the Great is one of the most well-known characters from the period. One can only speculate how our world would have been different if he had lived beyond thirty-two years of age. But how was Alexander able to accomplish so much in such a short period of time? What were the conditions already in place when he became king of Macedon? How was such a young man able to completely dominate the known world? The answer is Philip.Nicholas Guild brought life to the dire situation that Philip inherited as king of Macedon; a small, weak kingdom on the edge of the civilized Greek world. Macedon was hedged in on all sides with a routed army. Guild painted a vivid picture of Philip’s early life as a young man who never expected to be king, he was a good brother who just wanted to do anything he could to do his part to help his older brothers.How much of the story is fact, myth, fiction? It really doesn’t matter to me, it was about the journey. Guild patiently took his readers through Philip’s early life. He brought to life a figure who is often overlooked by history due to having been eclipsed by his son. Guild shows him to be a man of eminent importance, who established the perfect scenario that allowed Alexander to be “The Great.â€I would have liked to have seen more, but I suppose once Alexander was brought in as a young man, the story would then be all about him. Philip, again, would be lost in the background.*I received a copy of the book from the publisher (via NetGalley).
The Macedonian referred to in the title is Philip of Macedonia who was the father of Alexander the Great conqueror of the known world during the period he lived. Philip was the third son in line for the throne of Macedonia and as a boy he comported himself as an individual who would never inherit his father's kingdom. This was not the case as he eventually became the ruler of the country through circumstances that are explained by the author. Nicolas Guild has written a novel based on happenings in ancient Greece and set it up as a very interesting book loosely based on the available history of the period. Philip did manage to conquer most of Greece utilizing methods of combat that were in advance of those used by his enemies. He is pictured as sparing of his men and concerned with the well being of both his fellow Macedonians and the people conquered during his campaigns. Nicolas Guild has written a great many novels set in ancient times and has the ability to bring the characters and events depicted to life using supposed conversations and events for the modern reader. This book is no exception and taking it as a novel causes it to become an all nighter for the reader. We find that, through Mr Guild's eyes, the reader finishes the book with the distinct feeling that he knows Philip and understands his motivations in facing the circumstances that arose in his life.
