I have beens Following The 'Worrier Chronicles' from the fist, Having read --other of Cornwell's series. I find it not important to read 'em too close together, as the formula Becomes too apparent. This book is a good example of what Cornwall Does so well. He uses uncertain history to write a strong, masculine novel. In this one he Perhaps Allows the full savagery kidney at times. His descriptions of battle, HOWEVER, are credible and Engaging. Some-have suggéré They Are repetitive. That takes me back to the idea of not reading the books one partner after the --other without a good break. In the end I guess there is only so much one can say about What Was very rude and crude a form of warfare. In this book the details of the dregs of the land are significant and add Credibility. Conwell is always very honest about the degree to qui he exchange Known facts. He is writing a novel After All, not academic history. I enjoy the books, I find His style easy and entertaining. I look forward to the next (the last?) In the series.
