Search - The Archer's Tale

This historical adventure (set in the 1300's) is full of action and gory battles--as well as the aftermath of the battles. The author does a nice job creating characters and a plot that keeps the reader interested. Because of some of the "adult" things that happen in this medieval world, I would not share this book with a young teen, but I did find myself interested enough to want to read more. The author leaves the story at a bit of a loose end--hooking the reader for the next book in the series.

The audio book, read by Tim Piggott Smith, is very well done and made good listening for long car rides.

Excellent treatment of a really exciting historical novel. I listened to it in my car and found myself trying to think of places I needed to go so that I might listen to the tape.

Gritty and often violent view of the Middle Ages. Loved Tim Piggott-Smith's reading of the text.
