Sword of the War God by Tim Hodkinson

Peter’s first review of the year

really liked it
I loved this book and being new to the author I was delighted to discover I can plough into his previous books. The end of the Roman Empire is fascinating. The chaos of all that followed, the rise of Charlemagne, and the slow formation of the nation states we know today. Good historical novels bring a period to life in vivid detail; this books succeeds in spades.

I really enjoyed this. Well written, highly amusing, and with plenty of historical detail to send me down rabbit holes. I will be reading the rest.
