The Agincourt King: The Plantagenet Legacy, Book 5

Review: Agincourt: Henry V, the Man-at-Arms & the Archer
This book is a very solid overview of not only the battle but events leading up to it, from the beginning of Henry V’s reign, the coup attempt at Southampton, the siege of Harfleur, and the long detour the army had to make to find a crossing of the Somme. It’s not until about halfway through that we get to the battle. I’m not complaining, mind you. You can’t tell the story without the background.

| To me, this book was very much like reading an epic. There were so many adventures in a relatively short period of time that I felt totally immersed in this character’s life. We are at the beginning of the hundred years’ war, and the fateful battle o ...more | |

| In many ways, this is book is a comfortable fit, since I’ve read so many books about Julius Caesar. I can’t say I learned anything new, but we did delve into the heads of the soldiers who followed him, which is a different and satisfying approach. Ou ...more | |

You are very sweet, Majenta. I'll be out very soon with book 3 of my trilogy, then on to a different century. I love the Godwines and will miss them, but so many other histories await!
Hello, Mercedes! Friend Request Accepted, thanks for requesting! Congratulations on your books! I hope you're having a good week. Happy reading, writing, and everything else. Blessings!Best wishes from Majenta
