Query: Thundering Hooves

The battle scene in the second half of the book was worth putting up with some of the long scene-setting of the first half. Dialogue was superb. There is a fine line between showing and telling and it takes some practice for good non-fiction writers or good historical-fiction writers to get it down. In my humble opinion, the reader has a sixth sense about knowing which is which. Chiaventone is learning his craft well.
