The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell

5.0

---

The Winter King is the best historical fiction I've read in quite some time. I loved it! Cornwell's historical detail and living, breathing characters combine to make you feel as though you're right there, in that ancient time, watching the events. I listened to it on audio, and the narrator is perfect for this series, you feel like you're listening to a first-person witness from those long-ago, terrible days. If I could pick one word for this book it would be "transportive", which is exactly what you want a novel to be. Bravo, Bernard Cornwell! So glad to have "discovered" this author, I now have a lot of reading to do!
