I first came across the novels of Sharon Penman via a book club edition of The Sunne in Splendour and it completely changed my views on Richard III. Not that I knew that much about him, but at that time, his reputation taught in schools was pretty much dyed in darkest evil.

| A good solid performance from an excellent writer. It's not his best - the story line plods and meanders like a tired horse in places, but his characterisation is strong and his feel for history superb. A top notch author not quite at the top of his...more | |

| A slow start with masses of filler - to get the word count up or just to write something when the author had run out of juice? I don't know, but it wasn't firing. And then just as you were getting so bogged down in the dull that you were becoming ann...more | |

| Phew, what a massive sprawl of a novel that leaves you with so much to think about your brain aches. Sometimes it was so much of a meander I got lost, but I still had to keep on going. Not Gaiman's best but certainly his most ambitious and I'd still...more | |

| For a children's book this is decidedly scary. Not the sort of thing to give to a sensitive child to read. Gaiman writes horror just as easily as fantasy. | |

“Chretien speaking to Dominic:
'Magda is no ordinary young woman. There is a blood price on her head way beyond that upon any Cathar, indeed way beyond mine. I advise you most strongly to think with your head, not your loins.'
'I am thinking,' Dominic said softly, 'with my heart.”
