A really great history book, informative, well presented, clearly written, interesting and relevant illustrations and pictures (which is always a plus the amount I’ve read where I’m looking at a picture wondering why it’s in there! ) a wonderful historical offering

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This book is full of fantastic artwork and pictures and I found it fascinating. Being teaching assistant I love reading up on history and I did find out many things from this book that I wasn't familiar with.
Really enjoyed it!

I don't normally read non fiction but as I'm a history fan I thought I'd read thos.
I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it, and I'm sure my girlfriend will be glad I've finished it so she can stop hearing me talk about it in bed Haha.

"The Dark Ages" gives an overview of the era from the fall of Rome to the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Unfortunately, it really is only an overview which means that the author, for the most part, just lists one king after the other without going into too much detail which I, personally, would have preferred.

A well illustrated and well researched history of the Dark Ages. It's a good introduction to this era and I appreciated it.
Recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
