Review: The Best of an Exciting Genre! - The “English Archer” genre is well developed and an exciting historical period to read about. I previously enjoyed “Agincourt” by Bernard Cornwall, and the “Archer” series by the appropriately named author, Martin Archer. This novel is in the same vein, and very enjoyable. This novel is populated by well rounded characters, who capture your imagination and greatly facilitate willing suspension of disbelief. You notice the skillful manner in which the characters remain true to their own nature. Historically, there are no glaring anachronisms, the bane of the period novel. To my knowledge, the descriptions of archery are accurate, and consistent with other period novels. What then lifts this novel above the others of the genre? I feel the main attraction is the period of history used as the setting of the adventure. I have read no others used the period before the ascension of Edward I to the throne of England. Most “archer” novels are set a century or so earlier, or out of the country on Crusade. I found the story of this civil war to be quite interesting. The only contrary thing about this novel is that every time I read the name Edward Longshanks, I had to see the image of a young Patrick McGoohan before my mind’s eye. I enjoyed this novel and am about to begin the next one: “King in Waiting”. Don’t miss this one!
Review: Interesting writing, concise and bland but not boring - The book is a simply told tale, written as a retelling. The book is exclusively in first person past tense, with little actual narrative commentary. The structure is very simple - short, concise sentences with little description - and that hinders forming a mental image of the story, but interestingly doesn't break immersion. Almost all of the writing is "did this", "that happened" "said, 'This'", with few adjectives and fewer adverbs. While that may be indicative of poor writing, I think it indicates the kind of mind that is telling the story; the protagonist, Gruffyd son of Gerald ap Llywelyn has a mind like an arrow - short, accurate, and purposeful. As others have said, the protagonist is something of a medieval Rambo. While he absolutely does not engage in witty one-liners, he does seem extremely, almost ridiculously, overpowered. What prevented me from literally putting this down was that this ridiculous degree of martial power (but not necessarily prowess) is applied to every single other archer in the story - justified because this is the English longbow at its prime. If all of Hosker's books are written in the same style, with similar protagonists, then I would not recommend reading his books. I haven't read any others written by him, though, so I can't make that judgement. This book on its own is an interesting, well-researched, and worthwhile read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exciting and hard to put down.
*by M***Y on August 7, 2025*

Hosker's books are so hard to put down, I'm behind on my game playing! I like a strong hero who earns respect against all odds by his ingenuity and determination. He is also a leader who plays fair with his followers. Highly recommend these books.
