Conn Iggulden Wars of the Roses Series 4 Books Collection Set (Stormbird, Trinity, Ravenspur, Bloodline)

Product Information

Unfortunately, this tipped me off about Lord Suffolk and John Cade ( led a revolt of Kentish men who even stormed the Tower of London). Set a generation after his Athenian series, it follows Pericles' rise in Athens, the formation of the Delian League, and the Battle of the Eurymedon. Quiero decir, todos aquellos que quieran una lectura entretenida y llena de acción, disfrutarán mucho de este libro. Following Margaret of Anjou, Bloodline is the third epic installment in master storyteller Conn Iggulden’s new Wars of the Roses series.

However, possibly Con Iggulden’s greatest triumphs in this book, and the series as a whole, is to make the characters memorable enough to follow what is happening to each one, despite most of our main characters all having the same names. La pluma del autor es muy amena, hace que se lea deprisa y sin que resulte pesado, y las descripciones son concisas. The dust jacket of this book is slightly damaged/ripped, however, this does not affect the internal condition.Conn Iggulden begins his book with the death of Edward III and his sons around his bedside, wondering what would happen to their beloved England.

The book is readable and very easy to get into because of the fluid pace and style, but lacks substance. A ver, que yo entiendo que había que establecer el contexto social y la pérdida de Maine era muy importante, pero es que hay mucha acción, y muchas peleas, y muchas batallas, y sinceramente, a mí todo eso me daba igual. Also many are aware of the bloody English civil war which ripped the country apart as the red rose of Lancaster battled the white rose of York. In March 2006, Iggulden released a novelette entitled Blackwater, part of the Quick Reads initiative of World Book Day 2006.By that I mean, although there was elements of getting inside key characters minds, by and large it felt as if it were written by an observer, or an outsider rather than someone palpably in the middle of the action. The clash of the Houses of Lancaster and York may be the beginning of a war that could tear England apart . Black hardback(silver lettering to the spine, two small nicks and dent on the edges of the cover and spine) with protected Dj(two small nicks and crease on the edges of the Dj cover),both in fine condition. The most powerful of these is led by Richard, Duke of York who himself has a strong claim to the throne, he is supported by his wife Cecily who is painted in the cruellest of shades and makes for a fabulous villain. For one, if you should accept this challenge (War of the Roses) then you're in it for the longhaul as this book jus stops.

Si no eres medianamente conocedor de todas las ramas nobiliarias que descienden de Eduardo III, como era mi caso, y que durante estos años se enfrentan y se mezclan unos con otros, el lío es monumental: que si la casa de York, que si los Lancaster, que si los Beaufort, luego aparecen los Neville, los Warwick. Despite a recent TV series, the Wars of the Roses has been generally overlooked, the most anyone knows about this period of history is via Shakespeare and his interpretation of a hunchback Richard III and the death of the Princes in the Tower. Henry needed a truce with France and it was up to men who he could trust to make sure this happened.

Black cloth-covered boards, silver titles on spine; map front endpapers, illustrated rear endpapers. Episodios bélicos, que hay muchos, bien narrados, algunos en los siguientes libros de forma brillante, desde mi punto de vista. This is a real shame as it breaks down what has always been a real strength of this series in the last little bit, which covers, arguably, some of English history’s most iconic moments in little over a hundred pages. The British author Conn Iggulden is largely known for his historical fiction, along with his fiction and fantasy novels as well.
