Stormbird by Conn Iggulden
4.0
I loved this book!
The plot was gripping and I found myself rooting for characters.
The first part about the King’s spy thinking of a way to find a lasting truce for France was very gripping.
The second part about the English people forced to leave France where they lived for years because of that same truce was powerful, I loved to be able to read about the “victims” of such truces and how they responded to it.
The third part about the rebellion against the throne was also great, however this is the part that got me to give only 4 stars to the first book in the series.
Being “behind the scenes “ of a rebellion was very interesting and gripping , however some parts of it felt very long.
I still loved this book enough to get excited about opening the second book and see how everything will develop as the wars gets worse...
