Found it a bit dry and academic. The historical details are interesting, but not exactly a page-turner. Could have been more engaging.

Informative and insightful, although sometimes a bit long-winded. Still, a great resource for understanding medieval Wales. Christopher Hitchens’ introduction is an added bonus.

Gerald’s observations are fascinating, though his biases are quite apparent. Hitchens’ introduction is a plus. Worth it for the historical context.

A mixed bag. Some parts were captivating, others were dull. The book is a little lengthy and could use some editing. It has it moments.
