Engaging story taking place in only a couple of locations with less of the intrigue. A couple of arch characters let things down a bit.

Another story that lacks tension a was hard to get through. The deadly villain while different isn’t very interesting. Feels like watered down version of Sharpes Prey.

A Grindy downbeat novel that isn’t a slog.

Lots of interesting little anecdotes but not a fan of how it was essentially a series of quotes lashed together.

Slow start with a refreshing enemy who is less scheming and more a reflection of Sharpe himself. The book earns its name with the conflict in the second half.

More intrigue makes the story a bit of a slog for the most part but the events of the finale are well written and gripping.

While a smaller story in scope than some, the story builds a great sense of impending doom, with Andy antagonist who isn’t quite as arch as the story that follows. The recurring characters are well entrenched into their roles at this point. (In this second book written) which is a bit of a let down from the chronologically earlier but more recently written books in the series.

Great intro to the men in green jackets, and a charismatic hero that can show Richard Sharpe a thing or two about leading men in battle.

Historical events see sharpe head off for a danish adventure. The story finds time to delve into his past while also reintroducing a host of characters from previous stories.
