I enjoyed it, this one seemed heavier on the battle descriptions than the first. Eleanor was still flat and Thomas' mourning of her didn't feel true. Glad he didn't introduce a new female character just to replace her. Didn't get much further in the mystery of the Grail. I wonder in Thomas will really join Guy and search for the Grail together? I guess I'll see in the next book. ( ) Tras la batalla de Crécy (agosto de 1346), Thomas de Hookton es enviado por el rey de nuevo a Inglaterra, donde los escoceses, a petición de los franceses y aprovechando la merma de las defensas, han invadido el norte del paÃs provocando la que pasará a la historia como la batalla de Neville´s Cross (octubre de 1346). Eso no impide de Thomas siga su peregrinaje en busca del Grial, que le llevará de vuelta a su pueblo natal y a Francia, donde asistirá a otra batalla memorable: la de La Roche-Derrien, en la que Carlos de Blois fue derrotado y hecho prisionero. Si la primera entrega de esta serie ya anunciaba una de las aventuras más extraordinarias jamás contadas, La batalla del Grial confirma a Cornwell como el escritor que mejor ha sabido convertir la rudeza de los soldados medievales, las duras condiciones de vida de la época y la brutalidad de las grandes batallas en literatura de muchos quilates. Con justicia lo saludó en su momento el Washington Post como "el mejor escritor de novela histórica de aventuras". Master Storyteller at work. I recently discovered this trilogy of paperbacks buried at the bottom of my waiting to be read pile, and decided they were long overdue. Thoroughly enjoyed Harlequin but I think this book is even better, descriptive superb characters throughout, and virtually non stop action. Completely and totally recommended. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the sequel to The Archer's Taleâ??the spellbinding tale of a young man, a fearless archer, who sets out wanting to avenge his family's honor and winds up on a quest for the Holy Grail. In 1347, a year of conflict and unrest, Thomas of Hookton returns to England to pursue the Holy Grail. Among the flames of the Hundred Years War, a sinister enemy awaits the fabled archer and mercenary soldier: a bloodthirsty Dominican Inquisitor who also seeks Christendom's most holy relic. But neither the horrors of the battlefield nor sadistic torture at the Inquisitor's hands can turn Thomas from his sworn mission. And his thirst for vengeance will never be quenched while the villainous black rider who destroyed everything he loved still lives. "Cornwell writes the best battle scenes of any writer I've read past or present."â??George R.R. Marti Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
