I had already read the first four books of this series (two years ago) but when I saw that the fifth and final story had been released, I decided to go back and reread the first four books before reading the conclusion in book five.
This is amazing historical fiction, well detailed and factual and with a story line that makes it difficult to stop reading. It is a sweeping historical saga that begins with the story of a young son of a khan who is banished from his tribe when his father is killed....more

I really had to talk myself into this one. So far I am impressed. I will wait and see if I further impressed.
Book 1- Birth of an Empire 12-2-12
This a very strong story about the beginnings an empire, a nation and a people that still exits today. When Timijin and his family are left to die on the plains they survive becouse of their mother. That is the begining. It shows a mother's strengh and love.
On to the next one!

Fantastic set of books, can't recommend them enough.
Iam not normally keen on reading about historical events, I tend to find most books drone on an on with no real feeling.
When reading I like to be able to connect to the characters and imagine the scene in my head.
Conn Iggulden really brings the story of Genghis alive pulling you into his world, and you just can't wait to read more.

Reading about Genghis Khan was not top on my list but after a high recommendation I decided to give it a try. So glad I did! A fascinating read. I had a hard time putting it down. It was interesting to learn about the tribes of the time and how, as always, family shapes what we become.
Brilliant historical novels! Iggulden lets you see, hear, feel, and smell the world Genghis grew up in and then transformed. It gets pretty brutal, but is completely engrossing. I've read the first three, and have books four and five on deck.
The 5 book series is a long read but well worth it
Really provides a good sense of the scope and history of Genghis Khan and his decendents.
Entertaining and instructive at the same time! The best of the historical adventure novel genre

I loved the books about Gengis khan! Iggulden is in my top 5 writers, the way he mixes hisory with a bit of fantasy is just astonishing.
Terrific subject. Could not put it down.
Brilliant series - well worth reading.
