I first started this series after I read a review about this book on Mysteries and My Musings. I was glad to find that I did enjoy the first book, Veil of Lies and continued to enjoy the series when I read Serpent in the Thorns (Bk 2) and The Demon's Parchment (Bk 3). I'm happier yet to say I enjoyed this 4th installment of the series as well. Crispin and his protégé Jack are great characters. Plus, it was great seeing how Jack is growing up. And I loved that Chaucer made an appearance in the book. The parallels to The Canterbury Tales had me scrambling to remember what I haven't read in high school over 10 years ago, and only in bits and pieces at that. I do have one complaint and it's rather spoilerish, so I'm turning it white...highlight to read.
I wanted to guess the bad guy in this one, but kept telling myself it couldn't be a woman. How many times can the women be the bad guys in a series that takes place in the medieval times?
But I still look forward to reading the next book in the series, Blood Lance, due out in October. And with that, I leave you with the trailer that convinced me to start reading this series in the first place. 
Yeah, a trailer!
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with Blogger's comment section. I use to could be able to "Subscribe" and receive notice if you commented back. Now that option is gone. :(
ReplyDeleteI miss the trailers. I've been looking forward to posting this one.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what happened with the comments. I looked to see if there was something in the settings, but I didn't see anything.
There's other changes going on with blogger that don't sound great, too. I don't think I can handle a migration, though, so hopefully they aren't as bad as I've heard.
I just chatted with Tif at Tif Talks Books and she had to change the settings. Looks like Blogger has been busy!
ReplyDeleteI went to Tif Talks Books to see exactly what she told you she did. I upgraded (which looks entirely different on my end and is going to take some getting used to), but I'm sure I need to do something else. =/
