Azincourt - Bernard Cornwell

I would like to write a brief review of Bernard Cornwell's Azincourt.  The narration is excellent and the characterization is strong.  However, I found the writing to be a bit muddy at times, which almost prevented me from finishing it half-way through.  It was that painful at times.  The storytelling was so vivid and well done, though, that I am very glad I finished through to the end.  I would recommend it to anyone who wants an engrossing story.  My advice:  stick through the sieges at Harfleur, as it gets better afterward.
