NotWearingPants posted:For those that know, how would these compare in quality to Bernard Cornwell's Richard Sharpe series of novels? Because those were readable, but just barely and I wouldn't recommend them. The Sharpe books vary a lot in quality. Sharpe's Rifles and a few of the other early ones are quite good, but he just wrote too drat many of them and after a while it seemed like Sharpe fought in every battle of the Napoleonic Wars. The ones where Cornwell went back in time and started filling in "gaps" that didn't need filling are generally pretty bad/unnecessary, but I'll stand by most of the original run. Of course, the best part of those books were the reams of historical research Cornwell did and his knack for describing big battles. I haven't read/hadn't heard of Casca, but I doubt it has either.
