Is Bernard Cornwell good?

Recently I bought Bernard Cornwell's Chronicles of Arthur, translated into Portuguese by record publisher, but I put the book down almost halfway through, just because of Cornwell's writing.
I had never read one of his books before, and I found the writing very convoluted and not very fluid, I couldn't make the reading remain in that automatic state, enjoying the story, I had to keep going back through sentences and sometimes entire paragraphs. And it's not because it's complicated writing, I've read much worse.
I really wanted to know if this specific book is like this, if it's the publisher's fault and I should look for another edition, or if the translator is bad. If all his books are like this I won't read them, and I would like suggestions for stories in that style. Thanks 🙂
