I was given early access to this book in exchange for an honest review upon completion.

I loved how this book was divided into different sections that went into so much detail for each civilization discussed. I will admit that the material for the different sections did vary slightly in their quality, but they were all very enjoyable. I especially enjoyed reading about how expensive Carthage was and the social and religious aspects of the Etruscans. I've always been fascinated by mythology and as such was fascinated to learn about mythology I'd never heard before as well as how they influenced the more popular mythologies such as those practiced by the Greek and Roman cultures. If you are at all interested in history I would absolutely recommend reading this

Very well written and easy to read even though packed with information. Seemed to be well- researched, too. The color pictures and maps were a pleasant surprise.
