This was such a good read! I didn't think three books into the series that they would still be this good, but they are! This book jumped a few years forward from where the second one ended, which was kind of nice because we got to see how Adelia grew as a mother and how she's made a life for herself and we get to see Allie grow up a bit! This was another intriguing mystery, actually there were a few mysteries in this one and none of them felt totally obvious. I had a hard time putting this book down it was so good. And with the way it ended I am definitely excited to read the next one and see if any of the things that were discussed actually happen!
In this continuation of the story of “the mistress of the art of death” during her time in England, Henry II has to share the kingly limelight with the legend of King Arthur. This multifaceted mystery has been used to highlight the famous Glastonbury Abbey and to introduce the type of legal reforms going on in 12th century England. Adelia remains a conflicted, often self-contradictory, protagonist, but the author has also paid close attention to developing the supporting characters. This is an excellent summer read, which even educates the reader a bit.
