REVIEW: Oath Bound (The Wolf of Kings series) by Richard Cullen

Oath Bound: A gripping historical adventure set in 1066 by Richard Cullen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Richard Cullen's writing is as sharp as the blade wielded by Styrkar, the series' protagonist, who cuts a bloody swathe through his Norman enemies on his quest for vengeance. The books are fast-paced and packed with breathless action. Styrkar is a great heroic creation, and the Wolf of Kings series places Cullen in the top tier of historical action and adventure authors.

REVIEW: The Guild of Salt and The King's Messenger by Robin Isard

The Guild of Salt and the The King’s Messenger by Robin Isard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Robin Isard plunges us into a 12th century England riven with revolt and strife, where neighbours are suspected traitors and nobody can be trusted. With empathy and verve, Isard tells the tale of unlikely companions thrown together in a dangerous time of mistrust and violence. The Guild of Salt and the King's Messenger is a rollicking tale of high adventure, self-discovery, survival against the odds, and the forging of lifelong friendships.
