This is the first book I read by Dan Jones and it's brilliant. It's a huge book (720 pages) but it was no issue as it's fascinating and gripping like a novel.
This is the first comprehensive history of Middle Age I've ever read. Growing up in Italy I learned a lot about the fall of the Roman Empire, Charlemagne, Popes vs Emperors and son.
This book is something more as it looks to other places and it's not eurocentric.
There's humour but there's also a lot of research and the author is able to turn historical facts into a fascinating story.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
