review 1: I am on page 60 or so in the Kindle edition. Gideon is cutting the scrotum from the body of a dead enemy; he will use this "sac" as a pocket on his jacket. What kind of research suggested this detail? Also, the Catalan's bawdy description of Norman women--they "smell like goats in season . . . " might be accurate, but goodness gracious, hardly "christian." This tends to be a slow read; I do not yet have a sense of where it's going. More to come.
review 2: A contemporary author meets an old crone in her small store outside medieval Lockenhaus Castle in Austria. The crone invites him to sit and proceeds to read a deck of Tarot cards and the begins to tell him a tale of Order of the Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon (Templars) and their demise at the h... moreands of the French King and Pope Clement V who are both plotting to destroy the Templars and acquire their supposed wealth. It’s a tale of medieval greed, plots, murder and betrayal as the three groups battle each other. An interesting read, although the end sort of fall flat as except for someone to hear the tale, the author has no other obvious reason to be in the story. It was a tale that’s readable but on that is also easy to put down for something else. less
