I find myself wondering what is the point to make new year resolutions, after all they only ever last until the second of January then you find yourself stuffing yourself full of McDonalds,’ getting shitfaced and chain smoking in one all out binge! But that I realise is the problem, the onset of age has slowly ground all the idealism I suffered from in my twenties into so much emotional dust and been replace with a form of cynicism so aggressive that it borders on out and out nihilism.

Mr Cornwell is as usual on form, when it comes to historical novels Bernard Cornwell is absolutely at the top of his game, seemingly churning out novel after novel of brilliantly researched historical novels that literally takes the reader and places him in the centre of various historical events. This time we are at the battle of Agincourt with long bowmen Nick Hook (another typically lovable rouge) stumbling about in the muddy battlefields of medieval France. Cornwells narrative and attention to detail is spot on both on and off the battle field and brings to life the six hundred year old battle as if Cornwell was an eyewitness, present on the sidelines taking notes in his jotter. The historical context is also supremely well researched with the narrative starting with the persecution of lollards in England. As always I highly recommend this novel or any novel by Bernard Cornwall who is a truly masterful storyteller.
