A review by dowlhat
The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell

4.0

Wonderful read. Truly brought to life the times and a great rendition of the King Arthur myth. Cornwell's depiction of a shield wall and its implications in war were so intriguing that I signed up for a shield and sword fighting class just to see for myself. The class was considered the most up to date in terms of research and methodology and it fell right in line with Cornwell's description. I encourage everyone who read this book to sign up for a shield and sword fighting class. Time to live the adventure. Plus it will make the book really come alive!
