Yes - I reviewed it for the last issue of White Dragon

I got the feeling that he didn't know a great deal about the period. However, his tactical interpretation of the rebellion was brilliant, and I also loved the empathy account bits. I'd recommend it, it's entertaining and interesting. Also, once you discount the appendices, it's not that long.

Thanks BB, I've just started it!

Just finished it & Blackbirds summary is perfect. I thought it might be a bit dry but this is not the case. In fact, I found it very emotive & exciting in places. The descriptions of the political settings, the intrigue & the battles painted very vivid images to the point I thought I was there.
