The manga is a little slow but if you can make it past the first few chapters then you are in for quite a ride.

The art is simple yet complex due to some of the crowd scenes. It compliments the story and never seems to overtake the overall message. The author draws some good battle scenes and adds a little humor once in a while.

Eumenes is a wonderfully written character that does through a lot of character development within the 104 chapters that I've read. His journey is a harsh but prepares him for the rocky life under King Philip. He doesn't have much luck in the romantic department but every heartbreak is worth it and well-written. The author has a little less work as the series is based on a real persons life. However, the author is able to craft a story that is both entertaining and on point in terms of the historical standpoint.

This is less of an action manga than Kingdom and Vagabond. It is more of a psychological adventure manga.
