Interesting historical novel about a period of history and an individual that is always remote. Nice one.

A great read and Iggulden is cementing his position as the heir to Bernard Cornwell's crown!

Early this year I became interested in historical fiction through Steven Pressfield's book 'Gates of Fire' and others. I know it isn't fair to compare everything else with that book, but it's only natural that it will happen, and that's why I've only given this book 3 stars.
Lords of the Bow is a good read, but fell short of what I had expected because I couldn't connect with the characters all that much. Certainly there was plenty of information on the strategies that Ghengis Khan used during this period, but I found myself slightly disconnected from the story and, at times, re-reading a passage or two to remind myself who the person was he was talking about. Not a good sign.
Overall a good read, interesting and informative, but no prizes for getting the reader involved.

Wow - How little we know about Genghis Khan and the Mongols. What an anamzing people and Conn really brought them alive. The book/story was a real page turning epic adventure. I cannot wait for the 3rd book....

Not the best Conn Iggulden, but still very good. Really you need to read the first book in the Conqueror series before reading this, but it is not vital. Conn sketches out the characters, locations and events very well and the story/history is excellent. Goodies and baddies developed well. My only criticisms are that I think the book is a little short, and I think Conn wraps it all up quite quickly. I dont think so far that this series has scaled the hights of some of the Emporer series, but still Conn is probably one of the best fiction/history writers around.
