Michael Smith’s Reviews > Sackett's Land > Status Update

A wonderful adventure story. Free of fat, concisely written and full of charm and heroics, and a fair bit of meaty history to learn from

This novel, the start of the Sackett family saga, is only 185 pages. But it feels so much grander and bigger, and I am really enjoying this. The writing is less modern than, say, Ken Follett or John Jakes, but it is gripping, very detailed and full of life.
