by Bernard Cornwell From the well-known Historical fiction writer is a story about players, actors on the stage, in the time of Elizabeth I. Women were still played by men and the brother of Will Shakespeare, Richard, is continually given women's roles with his brother's company. Between getting t...
Uhtred is still Uhtred in all his glory. You can still talk me into reading anything he's involved in. However (and I hate to say this), things are getting a little stale. I think it is time to send Uhtred to Valhalla where he belongs. I would not be opposed to having this continue from his son's po...
Series: Sharpe #4 (Chronological Order) This book started off quite strong, and I was initially enjoying Sharpe at sea (not his usual environment), but I felt things went downhill somewhat when we left the Calliope with its amusing merchant. I also didn't find the sea battle at Trafalgar to be as ...
I am a big fan of Bernard Cornwell. His Uhtred makes my list of literary boyfriends. The book Uhtred. Not whatever abomination they have cast in the television show. I don't know who that guy is but he's not Uhtred. Anyway.........I am also a big fan of historical fiction set in Tudor England. When ...

It revolves around Richard Shakespeare, William's brother, and his role in the players, the intrigue that he encounters, both treacherous and romantic. It is well-writte...

Series: Sharpe #3 This installment describes the taking of the so far unbeaten fortress of Gawilghur by Wellington’s army. Sharpe is a newly made ensign in a new company and having a hard time of it because he doesn’t feel like he fits in anywhere. The description of how the fortress was defeated ...
First rate piece of historical fiction. Although it is difficult to be a visitor in this world because the brutality is soul crushing. However, the quality of the writing and the thought provoking themes will keep me reading the whole series. But maybe t ake a break between books.
To już dziesiąty tom cyklu wikińskiego, czy też saksońskiego, zależy z której strony patrzeć. Chciałbym powiedzieć, że Bernard Cornwell wciąż dysponuje taką formą, jak w momencie rozpoczęcia historii o Uhtredzie z Bebbanburga, jednak to byłoby kłamstwo. Zapału starczyło mi na długo, jednak nawet ja ...
