The historical facts the novel is based on, are absolutely...

    A great view into life in the 1200s and I must say I'm glad I live in the year 2009. I loved the love story and was drawn Joanna & Llewelyn from the beginning.

    Not as good as Sunne in Splendour but enjoyable.

    Phenomenal historical fiction. Puts you right into the action. Penman is, without a doubt, the best there is.

    Excellent! Writing was true to 13th century England and Wales. Very round characters. It easily transports you into the castles and countryside. You feel a part of the political, economic, and social struggles of this time.

    This trilogy is the whole reason my friends and I went to Wales. It is fantastic for readers who enjoy British history. Wales isn't as flashy as the Tudors, but if you're an Anglophile, pick this series up!
