| Kveto's Thoughts: |
I keep reading this series, in the forlorn hope that it will get better by making the most of its premise, but I think the biggest limitation is the authors' bland writing style. The English Civil War is not a particularly interesting topic but it does fit in with the authors' "pick a side" mentality. Of course, you can do naught to alter the course of history, but you can see the authors have a definite preference for the snooty royalists over the commoner Roundheads, fitting in line with previous biases. I still think it would have been better for the authors to have chosen eras rather than battles/wars because you really have a sense of impotence when it comes to the history. |
