Powers and Thrones: A New History of the Middle Ages by Dan Jones

4.0

While very approachable to the general public, at over 600 pages this is certainly geared to the reader who is already interested in medieval history. I listened to the audio version read by the author and liked it a lot (authors reading their own works are hit or miss in my opinion). Dan Jones ranges far outside the usual British realm in this history, to draw in a more diverse cast of characters. My favorite quote, although I forget to what it referred: "By the standards of any age, this was a hot mess."
