review 1: I've read very few historical fiction books.I think I took on this book more as a challenge.The first few pages were difficult for me.I feared that I made a mistake.I didn't give up on it,though, and ended up really enjoying this book.C.C. Humphreys does a superb job intertwining fictional characters with the historical facts of the fall of Constantinople.The battle scenes were told with heart stopping details.I especially enjoyed John Grant,who isn't a main character,but his presence in the story brought some humor.
review 2: This is about the story of the fall of Constantinople. It involves a lot of fighting between the Greeks of Constantinople and the Turks. There is a little romance involved too. The author cut back and forth between a Greek soldier that... more was labeled a traitor and lost his nose because of it, and the Turks. It was very difficult at times to follow the Turks dialog at times and sometimes had to re-read those parts. Overall the story moved at a pretty decent pace, and it is based on facts which the other explains at the end of the book. less
