so-soThis was my first of Bernard Cornwell. It wasn't the greatest book, so I'm told, so I'll look for some others of his to enjoy. I was expecting more historical fiction rather than fantasy, and it took a while to really get into it because of all the dealings in war & with the gods. It, overall, was good but kind of so-so. I'll donate this to my little free library.

So many more things that brought me joy this week! Tonight we arrived in Dublin, so I‘ll have to add our time in Ireland to next week‘s joys!
I can‘t believe I got to see it in real life!!
And I loved the tagged book. Read it years ago. Prompting a huge desire to see it in real life.
so-soAfter. My impromptu visit to the British Museum, and my wander around the Stonehenge exhibition, this got my blood up! Although not my favorite Cornwell novel, he again creates these rouguish characters readers cannot help but root for the whole way through. If you love prehistory, battles and violence then I would recommend this one to you!
pickA long book, never boring, but there were some moments where I thought "come on, build that effing temple already" ?
The ending I found a bit underwhelming, probably because most elements had been heavily foreshadowed. That said, it was an enjoyable read with an epic - if somewhat dry - story.
Winter solstice live from Stonehenge ...
