Customer Reviews

Well written

I truly enjoyed this book as I do all of Penman's books. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is because it is SO full of military exploits. With that being said, it IS the story of the Lionheart and is what is to be expected. It does have a good storyline outside of all the military stuff which is what kept me reading. I have yet to read one of her books that I did not like and I have now read 5 (all in this series)
