An interesting read about a lesser-known king. The book could have been more engaging, but overall, informative and well-researched.

Detailed and insightful. However, beginners to the subject might find it a bit overwhelming. Worth the effort though.

Athelstan’s story is compelling, but the book felt a bit dry at times. Good historical context, though. I learned a lot about the period.
