I have just started writing my first review of a book for this service. Since my book is about contemporary Jewish life, I was attracted to the title of this book. You are an incredible writer and I enjoyed reading your review. I also prefer the genre of historical fiction and your ability to summarize that tome in a few paragraphs encouraged me to think about buying it! Well done. :ugeek2:

This book reminds of me of my favorite movie, Kingdom of Heaven, starring Orlando Bloom and Eva Green. I am always a fan of crusades, not because of bloodlust and christianity, but because I am amazed of the loyalty brought by the people to their king. I would surely love to read the trilogy series of this book by Helena P. Schrader. Kudos to the author!
