It was difficult to get into it at first. And English not being my native language has made the reading experience even more troublesome. I realised my vocabulary related to war isn’t great and I found it difficult to comprehend the long sentences at the beginning. But I know I’m not the target.. however I’m glad I stuck to it as it got easier and easier to read and I found the story very enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the romance element of it. I think this deserves more hype than what it got. Romance, fantasy and historical fiction fans could all possibly enjoy this one. I highly recommend! 

I'm a big fan of Bernard Cornwell having previously read his Sharpe series and some of his stand alone books. I decided to try this series. But I couldn't get into it. I just didn't like the old style type narrative. Maybe it was hard for me to change mental gears but after trying to force myself to read the first chapter I decided I didn't want to force myself to read anything so I dnf'd it.
