Science fiction/ fantasy with gladiator-style battles?
By happy-laurel61
I just finished Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff and I’m realizing I really loved the whole gladiator vibe. Are there any other series out there with a similar setup/themes?

A book on Roman Gladiators
By dustyhare
I’ve kind of gotten obsessed with Roman gladiators lately—not just the fighting, but the whole cultural setup that made it a thing, and how much value it actually had in Roman society. Does anyone have good book recommendations on ancient Rome and gladiators? I’ve tried searching around, but there are way too many options, so I’m not sure what’s worth it. Any suggestions would be awesome. Also, I’m pretty new here and I’m really glad I found this community :D
Fantasy/gladiators

Anyone know any fantasy books that have a gladiator/Spartan kind of vibe? I’m thinking along the lines of something like Gates of Fire, but turned into fantasy—does that exist? Appreciate any suggestions in advance!
