You have to rate this guy fairly high for no other reason than just how darn prolific he is. The books are always well researched and give a nice sense of place with the battle scenes pretty good, but the characters usually are around two dimensions. The protagonist is always a little too perfect, and they all seem to have the same angst and pretty much for the same reasons all around their family, arrogant kings and so forth. So you read them mainly to be carted around to get a good feel for the time, place and politics. The characters are mainly interchangeable through the majority of his books. The trick is not to read too many of them in a row so that doesn’t start jumping out at you. Steve Minnick102 2
