![]() ![]() From the words chosen through to the visceral descriptions of battles and the nearly-baffling intricacies of medieval armouring, Miles Cameron has written a story which transports the author to a different place and time entirely. ![]() ![]() Miles Cameron is, I suspect, a learned man, deeply in love with the history of Catholicism, European history, and medieval military workings. ![]() While there is a case to be made that the sprawling story doesn’t always illustrate clearly the distances and different names involved, leaving the reader occasionally confused by swaps in perspective, it’s not much of a case and definitely doesn’t detract from the overall quality. Discovering that I was therefore only a month or so away from the sequel left me in a dizzying wait, one that was recently concluded with the arrival on my doorstep of ‘The Fell Sword’. Released at the beginning of the year, I came to it with only a few days of the year left, but it still ranked as one of the best books I’d read. One of the greatest literary highlights for me in 2013 was finding ‘The Red Knight’ by Miles Cameron. ![]()
