My re-read soon showed how bad it was, and I had to force my way through the second book.

Side note: I believe the third book may be out now; the other two came out around Christmas and Amazon advertised it at me not long ago.

I should probably have mentioned that I found these books stunk. Also please don't recommend Bernard Cornwall. His original Sharpe books were ok in a popcorn reading kind of way, as was his Arthur trilogy; everything else stinks

Yeah, well, It is the kind of book you read travelling. I read the first one on a ship, and the secon one in a couple of week using public transport. It takes 35 mins from college to home.
