	Grail Quest: Harlequin - Bernard Cornwell - Review - Blood and Archers.
		Just to put Mr Cornwell in context, before he became a best selling novelist his career was TV, as a producer on current affairs programmes, such as Nationwide and Thames at Six; despite being British, he is one of those defectors and now lives across the pond in the United States.
		Cornwell writes solely historical fiction, by that I mean he sets his books, not in the present or future, but in the past, usually around events that have made an historical impact.
		Cornwell writes with a tight style and a skill for fast paced story telling, but despite the pace of the story, there was far too much emphasis on the battle and the equipment and not enough on the characters themselves.

		Cornwell liberally feeds readers history and nuggets of battle data and customs, with Uhtred's first-person wonderment spinning all into a colorful journey of (self-)discovery.

		Part of the reason for this is because Cornwell has Uhtred himself telling the story as an older man - which leads the reader to wonder how much of this old man's yarns you should really believe or how much his memory has been distorted with passage of time.

		Despite the changes (yes, I know Cornwell wrote the Peninsular War series first!), this was an extremely enjoyable book and I found myself actually yelling at the pages for Sharpe to succeed.
		Cornwell excels at imparting the technical and murderous side of siege warfare at the time, while remaining entertaining.
		For Sharpe, the storming of the fortress is a test of his courage and pride, a point which Cornwell hammers home almost to the point of parody.

	Review on Harlequin - Bernard Cornwell by Daisybelle - MouthShut.com
		This is a piece of genuine history (As is most of the story) that it was nice to grips with, and the events leading up to it along with the terrible mistakes made by the French, who had overwhelming odds on their side, are told with clarity and skill.
		Unfortunately, in my opinion, Cornwell is nowhere near as good at conveying the horror of battle, the technicalities of the equipment and the sheer bloodiness as my best read of late, Mary Gentle in her epic novel, Ash.
		You can tell indisputably that her work has been painstaking, whereas Cornwell is a pale second, almost a churner, next to her.
