3.5 bumped up in spirit of encouragement. Jones is a Historian first, author second and I fear it sort of shows. He could have fleshed out the characters more, but more than that I wound have more development of the political strategy rather than just go from battle to battle.
Really enjoyed this book, a ragtag group of soldiers storming France during the start of the hundred years war. The main group reminded me of the First Law Northmen and I enjoyed their dynamic. The action scenes were great; particularly the opening scene which is clearly inspired by the opening of Saving Private Ryan; and the final battle which was really exciting.
I do think that the book needed more. It felt bare bones in terms of character, plot, and descriptions. Lovejoy and a couple others of the Dogs were more well defined, but with their being 10 Essex Dogs, some of them are just...there. And the rest of the English army are all pretty bland. I will definitely read the sequel though!
