bonus vitality probably... plus not wanting all the tribes women to fall for him when victorious

I have to say, I read a lot, so I generally don't read stories that have this few of chapters. that being said, this was a very lucky find for me. the characters are realistic, and the story is immersive. it goes into a lot of details, without being bogged down by them. the history of the world is expansive, and even with the protagonist going back in time, the impacts from his actions seem to quickly make his foreknowledge mean little... on top of the fact that he did not have all encompassing knowledge to begin with. I have to recommend this book to anyone in need of a new one.

I love this series! there are some holes throughout it with certain characters, and some just seem to disappear, but overall, it is an enjoyable story to read.
