I ended up reading all 3 books and was very happy to have read them all and I have never read books which give an account of this era and frankly thought I'd become bored.  I did not.  The first book is, admittedly, awful as far as typos go but they are mostly textual - you will not have to endue bad grammar, poor phrasing and the like.  The second and third books are much better as far as that goes.Frankly, for the price, they are a bargain - over 1500 pages for 9 bucks?  The story is straightforward - reading more like an account than a story.  The writing will not be considered very clever by some, but there is nevertheless much detail and I found the approach to my liking after a while.  I am not a history buff as concerns this era but the author seems to be, giving much detail and illustrating things well.
