Yep... it's rather good, although the first book is the most uninteresting one. jh Send a noteboard - 02/09/2009 05:00:19 PM
Picked it up recently. Very good book.




it's the advantage with writing books set in the 12th-13th century, no details have survived to any great accuracy, so wild speculation can't be proven wrong... :P

It's been some years since I read the books, though, so they might be better in my memory than on paper. ;)
