Summary

The penultimate instalment in the Chivalry series from a master of historical fiction.

The Chivalry series follows young William Gold, who runs away from London to follow the Black Prince, from the killing fields of France, through life as a routier and criminal, and to redemption with the Knights of Saint John, further disillusion and an eventual career as a professional soldier and knight. Rich in the details of life in the High Middle Ages, the series also deals with modern issues about the role of violence in society, rules of conflict and war, and the price that people pay for using violence.

As good as ever. This series is superb!

I fell into this book as if I'd just finished the one before it, despite the months between.

The narration is second to none and so is the writing. Christian might excel in what feels like realistic action, but for me it's the personalities, the relationships, the settings, and the details most of all. Such exquisite detail included in such a complementary way to the story. Oh what a picture he paints.

Most certainly my favourite hisfic author of all time.

Highly recommended!

Best writer in genre

excellent story and narration, told by an old Knight, and you feel as if you are there hanging on every word.

Meh

Pretty dull overall, with no real sense of purpose to the story. I doubt I will continue with future entries as William Gould's series has seemingly run its course.
