Book Review - 1356
“1356” is a book written by the British author Bernard Cornwell, published in England 2012. It mixes fiction and reality, bringing some real battles of the Hundred Years War and adding some fiction characters to the scene. The Hundred Years War was fought during the Medieval Age, so it was full of church influence and mystical beliefs, like magic weapons.
The book was written in a very dynamic way, always showing both sides of war. In general, Bernard shows the search for “La Malice”, the sword of Saint Peter, by French and England armies. They believed that who found the sword would be invincible and then the battle winner.
The main character of the story is Thomas (The Bastard), a man who was considered a heretic by the church, so he was hunted by it. During his journey, he makes new friends, fights many people and does many questions about the magic sword. The story goes through the war until the battle of Potiers, where the Prince of England fight against the king of France.

Your English is better than some native English speakers I know, so I will be picky! ;-)

(In case you don't know, Americans put the punctuation (commas, etc.) inside quotations marks, while the British do the opposite.) (Not that I always get it right! Commas and things are so small.) Anyway, I hope this helps. :-)
