I don't really know much about the hundred years war, but decided to revisit it after our trip to France. It's crazy to know that (besides some of the character stuff and internal thoughts and other artistic license-y things) the plot of the book actually happened. I'm not sure how great it works as an actual novel--some of the characterization is lacking, and sometimes the events seem a little too convenient--but I'm enjoying this as a vehicle of learning this history.
