just discovering this book has been really satisfying and learning how like very much fish out of water like it's one of the best Fish Out of Water Tales I've ever read
Historical Fiction Reccomendations From A Fantasy Reader! Why I Love It
to watch it on page is like really like eye-opening like the whole time I'm sitting back going like oh these people have no interest in the truth only Matthew in this story is interested in the truth everybody else is just hardcore leaning on their superstitions and things of that nature
it just takes on this whole new spin on one like early New York was and what people thought New York could be and what life in early New York was like and it's just very interesting because it's not how I would have pictured it at all
Bernard Cornwell is making something like this incredibly relatable to have like Merlin be this Druid who's just kind of madcap and believes in his power and things of that nature and it might be a little off his rocker it's fantastic
