review 1: #FacePalmThat was my reaction after finishing the book. The first half of TCoP was true historical fiction. The latter half was a 14th century literary version of Call of Duty. The graphic detail in which the author describes the kills is too in depth. However, what did it for me was the fact that the author denies us the reason for the conspiracy. I hope the third book returns to the original Religion style format.
review 2: Set in Paris in 1572, the story focuses on the quest by Mattias Tannhauser to find his wife, Carla, who has disappeared. Without knowing Mattias arrives in Paris on St Bartholomew’s Eve and is unwillingly drawn into one of the bloodiest massacres in European history.This book is a sequel to Tim Willcocks' previous book, The Relig... moreion, and whilst some of the characters are the same, this is an entirely different story, but is no less powerful. There is the same fine attention to historic detail, and the undeniable pull of strong leading characters make this a memorable and worthy follow up. The content is not for the faint hearted, as the visceral and graphic nature of the story is often quite shocking, but putting that to one side, I am sure if you enjoyed The Religion, then you will be more than happy with this successor. My thanks to NetGalley and Vintage Digital for the opportunity to read this book. less
