I bought this book yesterday and can't wait to read it over the holidays. After reading Dan Jones's Power and Thrones over the summer, I cannot get enough medieval history--there are so many interesting parallels and through-lines to our current cursed timeline. Also the cover is metal. ⚔️🔥⚔️

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
