John Napier's Reviews > The Eagle's Flight

I really enjoyed this book, which I felt was very well written with an engrossing story.

It's about a medieval kingdom, where some of the powerful lords plot and fight to become the next ruler after the late King's passing, despite their realm simultaneously being threatened by outside forces.

The story is told through many different characters' eyes ranging from both commoners to nobles, and as such helps to give a feel for what life may have been like for them. There is also mystery and suspense to go along with some exciting battles and action.

Amidst all of this, there are some likeable characters to root for when they are faced with difficult situations, which often left me anxiously turning the pages.

There are 3 parts to this book, and felt that the final one nicely finished some of the plot lines whilst also setting the stage for this story to be continued in its forthcoming sequels. Finally, there is a map and further background information about its world at http://www.annalsofadal.net
