Product Information

In telling the story of the Nobles – Richard of York is presented as very ambitious and slightly menacing, his wife equally so. In September 2010, Empire of Silver, which revolves around the life of Genghis Khan's son, Ogedai, was published. Transporting them back to the past, he brings history to life, giving his readers a sense of what it was really like to live back then.

He's got things that happened over the space of several years smushed into the same time frame, making you think a tidal wave of crap crashed down on England all at once.There were quite a few scenes where the amount of gruesome details made me cringe, but I wanted to read more. An exciting new historical novel which brings the past vividly to life, in all its bloodthirsty glory. Conn Iggulden’s tight grasp on the reality of such distinctive events within our past is so assured, that you end up not only gaining an altogether clear image of it all, but something much closer to the heart.

Both sides of the war had a reason to fight, and the author’s portrays this is a completely neutral manner; thus, he leaves it up to the reader to decide if they follow the white rose or the red rose into battle, and the nest of court politics.It sounds from your review that, although the battles do feature, there's enough other intrigue going on to make it worth reading. I also tried to look 'Wars of the Roses' up on Wiki, but it's already a struggle just trying to understand who is who, and who is fighting who, which family is involved. Stormbird’ is about King Henry VI of England, that decent and pious man who was so completely unable to rule as his father had done – the immortal victor of Agincourt. Dejémenos de Juego de tronos y leamos sobre la Guerra de las dos Rosas, la verdadera Historia es la más interesante. The emperor series, and now the War of the Roses constrains that imagination with the wealth of history that exists, the sheer volume of detail and information that the author has to be bound to or be crucified by the reading history buffs.

There's not much more I could say about this, it's a first installment in a longish series, and it does show because a lot is left underdeveloped or hanging out there by a cliff so you go pick the next book up. The Wars of the Roses book series by Conn Iggulden includes books Stormbird, Wars of the Roses: Trinity, Bloodline, and several more. The ‘Battle of Heworth Moor’ failed in its main aim of slaughtering Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury. This is the England of 1454 and the beginning of the period in English history that we know today as the Wars of the Roses. Considero que la serie va in crescendo a medida que avanzamos en la tetralogía, y este sirve un poco de preámbulo a la guerra que se desencadenará en los siguientes.The marriage will go ahead and all we need to do now is mention casually to the English living in Maine and Anjou that their service is no longer appreciated by the Crown. I think Iggulden has really got into the minds of these historical figures, and tried to explain, in a fictional sense, the reasoning behind their actions. While I am sad st at what happened to him, I am glad Conn stuck to the truth of his death (NOT a spoiler since of course ALL these people are dead for real.
