THE EPIC HISTORICAL NOVEL FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR CONN IGGULDEN - FANS OF GAME OF THRONES AND WOLF HALL WILL BE HOOKED Look, I'm not a fantasy reader, but I've seen enough of it to recognise when "Lord Perucullion" and "Farmer Bingbat of Xanthripoum" enter the room dragging pet dragons behind them. This is my first venture into Iggulden territory. I've avoided his writing before as I've tended to associate him with “books for boys” - an association which was reaffirmed with the publication of The Dangerous Book for Boys which he co-wrote with his brother Hal.

La ejecución de estos personajes elevó el enfrentamiento a una guerra sin cuartel, en la que los dos hijos restantes de Ricardo de York, Eduardo y Ricardo, ambos serían reyes, juraron no cejar en su empeño hasta cumplir su venganza.......

Credit where credit is due, though: the writing flows quite well and some of the landscape descriptions/actions scenes are done more than competently. And the golden cover of the German edition is really, really pretty. The tale begins with Edward IV, of House York, returning to England after being chased out by forces Loyal to Henry VI, House Lancaster, the current King of England. But Henry VI is old and frail. Edward lands in England, at Ravenspur, to wage war with the full might of his Plantagenet bloodline.
