La spada e il calice

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books of the series, so this one was a bit of a let down for me. Bernard Cornwell is great at battle scenes, and creating memorable characters. However I found this book not up to the same standards as the other two books. There was a lot less action, and while I re Leggi tutto

I really enjoyed this series, even if I totally prefered the first two books better than this last one. The constant action kept me reading the story. I absolutely find that Thomas is extraordinary, he was even abbandoned by his best friend and excommunicated by saving Genevieve that the church cons Leggi tutto

This was a great end to this trilogy. This ceries is not for the faint of heart. There is much killing and cruel tortured described within its' pages. Enjoy and Be Blessed.

Thomasa od Hooktona, nakon ratnih pohoda kroz Francusku, Škotsku, pa opet Francusku, ponovno nalazimo u Francuskoj. Englezi su, nakon mnoštva uspješnih bitaka, upravo izgubili jednu svoju utvrdu, a Francuzi, nakon ove pobjede, ipak nisu odmah odlučili jurišati dalje. Nakon godina ratovanja, na pomol Leggi tutto

Tercera entrega de la saga, un libro algo más breve, pero que para nada me defrauda. Suspense y aventura sin tregua entre luchas, asedios, peste, y la jodida inquisición. Me deja un poco desconcertado el final, pues tengo leído que es una tetralogía, y realmente parece el final del todo. En la Wikipe Leggi tutto

Heretic is the last chapter of The Grail Quest series. Even though the author admits there are only 2 historical facts in the whole book - at the beginning and the end - this is none-the-less an awe inspiring masterpiece. With vivid battle scenes, intriquing characters and heart-renching episodes, eve Leggi tutto

This book brought me back in time to an era when The Grail and similar such powerful relics were believed to be real. This was a magical time as well was a very violent era when mythology and all things mystical were blended with reality. Throughout the book even the most threatening knight or men-a Leggi tutto

Zakončenie hľadania po množstve zdarov a nezdarov, ku ktorým patrí aj láska, strata niektorých priateľov a pomsta. Takže klasická štruktúra záverečnej časti, kedy sa voľné konce spájajú a uzatvárajú na mieste, kde sa celý príbeh začal. V štruktúre príbehu či spôsobe rozprávania nič objavné, len over Leggi tutto
