Dear Mr Cornwell, While having never done anything like this before, I feel I must write to you concerning the Warlord Chronicles. At first sight I felt they were not the kind of books I would enjoy (sorry!) but after insistence from my boyfriend that I must read them and becoming engrossed after reading parts over his shoulder I gave in. I was so wrong! They are without a doubt the best books I have ever read having completely fallen in love with both the story and, above all, the characters. Although, being honest, I completely despise some of the characters and even though I am on my second reading and know the outcome I still find myself hoping that a grisly fate will befall Samsun! I do not know why I am writing this and apologise for wasting your time with something you must read every day but having started reading them again, I enjoy them so much I feel I would like to tell you. I am just relieved that, unlike my dad, I didn’t have to wait for each book to be published. Well, aware as I am that is turning into a complete ramble I will sign off now, suffice to say the books are fantastic and I thoroughly enjoy reading them. Thank you for writing them! Lauren Ingram
