Harlequin (The Grail Quest #1) by Bernard Cornwell

Great beginning to October. I'm reading together with people from Mike's book reciew discord. 

This is a fictional story about the hundred years war between England and France.

I personally never studied the actual history during this period. After reading this, i'm very keen to read the actual history right away.

And similar to Warlord Chronicles, Bernard Cornwell can surely write such a hatable villian. I don't think Ive hated a character as much as Sir Simon except Lancelot in Warlord Chronicles.

Overall this is such an awesome book. I was hooked since the prologue and simply cannot put the book down.

Verdict: 4.5/5
