adventurous informative inspiring mysterious fast-paced

4.75

I've seen the TV series and it was great to jump back into the world with the book. Cornwell's writing is always gripping, though gritty and 'manly', it's enjoyable and fast paced for the number of pages too.
I have never been so tempted to shout "SHIELD WALL!!" along with a book 😎
