David Mitchell is starting Dark Waters, Starry Skies: The Guadalcanal-Solomons Campaign, March–October 1943

The past three books I have read have all gone into detail about the removal of King John's entrails. Pivoting back to WWII to avoid King John's intestines for a bit.

Much better for my second reading, now that I have read Dan Jones work on the Plantagenets. The names are a bit easier to track. The story is excellent.
