My interest in Shakespeare led me to this book. It is one big battle after another---bows, arrows, men wearing mail, pick ax, maces, knives--you name it, they clobbered each other with it! There is a love story between a French woman & an English archer, with a bit about their lives before meeting, but it's mostly just the horrors of war, in this case without guns. There was a scene or two with a cannon, but it was most ineffective. I did like seeing Henry V through this author's eyes, but if you're squeamish, don't read this one.
This novel just goes to show that you shouldn't give up on the series. While this was a new setting and and a different from the last two, it seems to be just what the series needed. This was very enjoyable, good story along with great characters.
Sorry, I know this is considered a masterwork amongst the "Brown-rice-and-red-wine" set, but at the risk of sounding like an anti-academic ham n' egger, I always thought Sartre was a cockeyed old pervert. I'll stick to Camus or Celine on the rare occasion I need a blast of old-fashioned Euro-sulk.
