Absolutely loving The Winter King – the idea of situating such a massive mythical figure in a concrete, historical landscape and culture is terrific and the book reads as if you really enjoyed writing it. One vowel struck me – I don’t know if typos are of interest but I wondered if “A man could clear land in the happy knowledge that his grandsons would live to tell it.” was meant to be ‘…that his grandsons would live to till it.’ ?? (p. 381 in my Penguin edition). For years of Sharpe, Azincourt, AND the sailing novels like Crackdown, as well as for the pleasure The Winter King is giving now, many, many thanks.
