Wonderful adventure story! I was a bit confused and bored with the politics of the War of Roses, but it was manageable, and the rest of the writing more than made up for it. I adore the characters and the sharp dialogue.
It's hardly believable though that a character could march all around the countryside doing battle for days and days and not collapse from exhaustion! ha ha! Also amazing that our main character has the bad luck to fall into enemy hands in every chapter, and also the good luck to miraculously escape every time by some device or other. It's all in the grand high style of adventure though, so I love love love it!
I love the writing style and all.
