2.0 out of 5 starsFair.
June 8, 2016
Lots of action that's for sure... But the opponents are consistently weak and inept. There's not much tension in any of the battles. And, truth be told there's little here except fighting. Worse, many things are repeated and repeated a lot!
Nor are the characters much fun, just cardboard hero types surrounded by stereotypes of bluff hearty yeoman archers, and dully stupid or evil others.
The writing is workmanlike, and mercifully low on typos and misspelled words - much better than the average Kindle read.
On balance there's not a whole lot to like here -but it reads fast.

4.0 out of 5 starsA good idea to include a collection of books

Certainly different.
Interesting and plenty of action.
Possibly a little lengthy with some explanatory pieces but interesting background.
A good idea to include a collection of books.

Author is an amazing story teller and I found myself struggling to put it down. Some parts were a little choppy, but the story was so engaging, I hardly noticed.

4.0 out of 5 starsDon't Let The Four Stars Fool You
April 10, 2019
Format: Kindle Edition
I tend to choose books with four star reviews, especially from the newer or lesser known authors, as these reviews tend to give more detail and I hope this book gets your attention.

My knowledge of Medieval England and the Crusades was limited to one intriguing college course, a captivating history book by Barbara Tuchman and Monty Python & the Holy Grail. Martin Archer brought a new dimension to the era that brings the five senses (and arguably the 6th) to life.

Archer packs his books with lots of action and unexpected turns. He tells the story from different voices and I am curious if Archer has considered writing an account from the perspective of Saladin and the Muslims. (That would be worth the price.)

This particular edition combines six books into one source. I encourage readers to read all six because each consecutive one adds more depth and interest. Unlike many series that become stagnant, I liked each book better than the previous one.

4.0 out of 5 starsImmersion into medieval politics and economics
July 8, 2019
Format: Kindle Edition
The series developed personalities and loyalties well while developing good characters and drawing me into an interesting period in a bit so commonly published region of Brittain...I found the difference in allegiance by King Richards soldiers for Prince John fascinating...I enjoyed the tactics and strategy growth of the characters after 32 years in military service...it does take some imagination to follow character to character in the text and is definitely a juvenile novel. I will read the next in the series...write on Archer.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood story, horrible editing
August 10, 2019
Format: Kindle Edition
I enjoyed reading this series but the author has a terrible grasp of verb tenses that diminished my enjoyment. There were also numerous syntax and grammatical errors that I found distracting. It's not fun to have to re-read sentences trying to make sense of them, often without success.

4.0 out of 5 starsInteresting historical perspective
October 26, 2019
Format: Kindle Edition
I found it intriguing that theses stories were based on parchment from the time. The author did a good job of flushing out the stories. Many parts are repetitive but I enjoyed the character development of William and Thomas.

4.0 out of 5 starsArcher empire building
October 7, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
Action filled, exciting saga of deserted English archers using wit and their mighty Longbows to carve out an empire. The archer empire is templar
Iike in its use of medieval banking and passenger shipping, yet no pretence of religious aims here, rather the archers almost cultishly seek coin and castles as they secure their land and sea empire against all others.
