The Winter King
by Bernard Cornwell
This is one of the most unique Historical fiction I have read.
Bernard Cornwell uses vivid descriptions and tantalizing battle scenes to keep you reading on the edge of your seat until the end.
What we have here is one of the best, if not the best, retelling of the Arthurian legend.
We follow the story of Derfel Cadarn, an old monk who tells us of his warrior's past. We learn about the politics and battles of Artur through his eyes.
How the places, people, and battles are described is amazing. I can’t remember another book that succeded in making me emerge in a world so good as The Winter King did.
The only thing that felt a bit off was how the book ended. It felt a little rushed.
We had an amazing final battle, but it got solved in a weird way.
I will definitely read the next book in this series. The final score is 4.5 stars for me.
