The Archer's Tale by Bernard Cornwell
2.0
Considering how much I enjoyed the previous seven Bernard Cornwell books I have read, I was disappointed with this one.
It is the story of a young man in the mid fourteenth century who only ever wanted to be an archer. Events conspire to push him into a more complicated role than he was wishing for.
At the start of the book I was worried it was going to be boring and then within a couple chapters I was relieved that it had picked up. By the time I made it three quarters in I was uninterested again which I thought was a bad sign as the last quarter of the book is all battles.
My conclusion is that while I liked our hero, the story of the Grail was not to my liking, thus the uninterest in the story.
