Third in the historical series about Thomas of Hookton, an English archer, and his hunt for the Holy Grail. I enjoy Cornwell's work, though I must admit I don't particularly like the heavy emphasis he places on warcraft nor his descriptions of the battles in minute detail. The story itself is strong and intriguing enough for me to tolerate the war portions, though. This book was of the usual excellent quality I've come to expect from Cornwell, though the ending was a tad predictable.
This was the first series by Bernard Cornwell that I've read. I thoroughly enjoyed the series, and I couldn't put them down. I truly wish there were more books so I could continue to read about Thomas and his adventures.
