A very good read, engaging and while somewhat confusing in regards to who was who, with so many central figures that‘s to be expected.
This books covers the reign of multiple kings, with little mention of their queens, and provides interesting details on the costs and benefits of the war(s) and the ways they were or weren‘t funded. I had no idea that cannons played such a key role in their era.
4/5 stars, I read this in two days.
