Although you didn't absolutely love this one, the time period sounds interesting. Is there another book you would recommend that is set in the same time period, but with more solid writing?

I have this series sitting on the shelf, one of these days I have to get to it! Any chance you will be going down to the London Book Fair? Carey’s last blog post..Review & Blog Tour: The Traitor's Wife by Susan Higginbotham

The cover of this book alone would be nearly enough to sell me. But middle ages! Ambiguous characters! I'm convinced. It's too bad about the writing, but it sounds like the story makes up for that. Nymeth’s last blog post..Skellig by David Almond

I began reading this series several years ago, and recently read the second book in the series. It’s enjoyable, isn’t it?

It’s funny how, if you know a book’s settting well, you can picture it in your mind’s eye perfectly. I’m like that about 19th century New York City–last year I read a book called Metropolis, where I could literally see the setting before me. Scary, but it made the book that much more enjoyable for me in the end.

not a huge fan of historical fiction either, but of any era th middle ages would be my fav perhaps... but I found it somehow amusing that you would actually be that familiar with medieval York, so as to not need the map. caite’s last blog post..a couple of quick things...

Since I don't read much historical fiction, this one doesn't sound like a good match for me. I think the cover and your review are great, though. Kathy’s last blog post..451 Fridays
