4 stars. The first book in Iggulden's Empire of Salt series was a good one. He's quite a storyteller and this was interesting. Darien is the city run by the Twelve Families. We follow several people's stories and they all merge as the story goes on. There is the orphan Arthur and the swordsman Tellius who teaches him, the hunter Elias and the killer Deeds, the adventurer Daw and the thief Nancy. There is magic and treachery and rebellion. Quite enjoyable.
