Sharpe's Rifles and I was faintly dissatisfied, for the reason that makes me prefer reading books in written order, rather than according to internal chronology. It was as if the prior two books hadn't happened, as indeed they had not, since Cornwell hadn't written them yet. It especially made his relationship to the female interest rather problematic and contradictory, based on the retroactive backstory.
Oh, well. These are, after all, mostly stand-alone books so it doesn't really matter.
