A review by harrietolivia456
Realm Divided: England in 1215 by Dan Jones

4.0

Really sorry to have to give it 4 stars because once I got into it I really enjoyed it. The book covered so many aspects of medieval society from just 1 year from knights to women and castles to animals. It only lost a star from the structure of the chapters. I found it hard to concentrate on what I was reading when I was only reading it a chapter at a time with the essay at the end. Also because Dan Jones kind of backtracks in the chapters for deeper understanding I lost what the point of the chapters were and so I restarted the book three times in total finally finding it easier to read the chapters over 2 sittings and then the essays afterwards. Once I got over the structure it was a brilliant read and only took 2 days to finish!
