The Sharpe books are the cringiest shit I've ever read

>And then Sharpe walked through the door and the beautiful Spanish girl said "Wow Mister Sharpe you are so tall (exactly six feet as I mentioned in the preivous page and the page before that one and the page before that one too) and also very handsome, I wish I could leave my husband and take your Enormous Anglo Cock into my sultry vagina." And the Spanish girl's husband, who was short and hunchbacked and had a hook nose and also a mole on his lip, said "Grr! I hate Sharpe because he is so brave and noble and I am weak and foreign!"

Those were his first novels, I haven't read them but the Archer's Tale in the OP was written almost 20 years after the first Sharpe book, I imagine he improved quite a bit by then.

Even the Saxon stories are badly written.

>I am Uhtred of Bebbanburg and I somehow seem to always be in the right meetings with the most important people at exactly the right time. Also I'm pretty much invincible.

The same can be said for Azincourt
