Arvustus: Domus Belli, Margus Laidre

Hinnang: 4 / 5 Suursaadik Laidre suurtöö on oma mahult peaaegu hoomamatu. Üle sajandi pikkust perioodi kajastav ajalugu kirjeldab detailselt Vana-Liivimaa purustamist ning sellele…

Review: The Three Paradises, Robert Fabbri

Rating: 4 out of 5 This is a solidly enjoyable fiction that will introduce the reader to many of the diadochi, an era normally…
