What a fantastic read. The battle scenes are incredible–I preferred reading Cornwell’s written battle descriptions to those acted in the tv series. Also I kept googling characters and incidents to learn 9th century history.
I love this series and am going to get the entire series in hardback so that I can enjoy them all over again……what a wonderful adventure this has been. Thank you Mr. Cornwell
