![]() ![]() ![]() I could go on for ages and ages about what I love about each of the heroes, but I'll focus on just a few prominent things - though be assured there are many more than these. Even the villains and other evil characters are so well-written - realistic, believable, dastardly, complex, and never cliche - and the main villain and his henchmen are possibly the very best antagonists I've ever read in my life. Flavius and Justin, especially, but also each of their friends - from strange little Cullen to tall and fabulous Evicatos of the Spear, from the great little Emperor to the inimitable Aunt Honoria. My favorite part of this book is most definitely the characters. Instead, I'll jump between a few representative highlights of some elements I appreciate most. ![]() There are many reasons why, and I could go on forever about all of them. The Silver Branch by Rosemary Sutcliff is a wonderful young adult historical adventure novel that I dearly love. ![]()
