Overall this is a great medieval tale of romance, intrigue, magic and morals. Strong cast of characters, with a good sub-plot, strong historical research throughout the tale. I found only the dating of the dances to be in question, but I know how different historians give different dates for the same thing.

Use of scripture was strong and good though perhaps using the English version of the Vulgate & Douay Latin text was too hard for a YA tale. A must read for the young romantic.
