aetius's review against another edition

Found the book to be interesting and well written. Though I didn't find it as engaging as Holland's other books, he's done a good job enlightening his readers about this important historical figure.

I enjoyed the book, even though it felt a little rushed and shallow.

Beautifully written. Reads almost like how a monk would write. Fascinated to know had Athelstan not seized the moment a different Kingdom of England ruled from York might have instead took hold. Very much a King we English do not know enough of, and the Author makes that passive aggressively obvious in some parts - validly so. Thank you for this.

This was a good book! Just that I was very distracted while reading it and wasn't able to get into it as well as I would have liked. Also, I'm just not familiar with history that far back, although I really need to remedy that soon. I'll have to reread this one someday.
