Edwin High King of Britain by Edoardo Albert (historical fiction 2014)

Not recommended.  I was halfway through the book and realized I still didn't care about Edwin's character.  Definitely choppy, and the characterization of the old gods' priests and Christian priests was annoying.  We all know the Christians "won" when Edwin and his household were baptized, but that's hardly a reason to portray Woden's priest as a scuttling idiot.
