• Eadweard - A Story Of 1066 on June 02, 2017
  
  Eadweard is a fictional story of two teen-aged boys who somehow miss the Battle of Stamford Bridge but are there for William Duke of Normandy's clash with King Harold Godwinson at Battle, England near Hastings on 16 October 1066. Historical details are very hit and miss in this story and it is evident to me that the author is not well versed in medieval history. Eadweard is a story best suited for children between the ages of 4 and 8 years old. The language is extremely simple, perhaps far too simple for most adults, and lacks the smooth fluidity that makes it compelling to adults. Dialogue is rather sparse in the story; it is almost entirely expository. This story is best for those without much background in medieval history. If however medieval England is one of your passions -- as it is mine -- this is absolutely not for you. This book was gifted to me by the author in exchange for an honest review. I'm giving it 3.5 to 4.0 stars because I think many people might like it even though it was a poor fit for me.
