Um... Having read 44+ books by Bernard Cornwell, all of them magnificent works, I am reluctant to comment on one book. For me it was frustrating with, what I thought, some simple moments. For me, everything else I've read probably set a very high standard. Brilliant writer but choose one of his other books.
