Read the English translation, The Royal Succession. all of the novels in this series thus far have been the new English translations made popular via George RR Martin. actually enjoy these more than ASoIaF, though I can definitely see why he was inspired by this series.

So far this is the best entry in the series (and I am willing to bet it’s going to end up as my favorite entry in the series).

It’s got everything you want in a good medieval drama: political intrigue, murder, betrayal and, backstabbing. It’s also so satisfying to see the pay off to all of the set up Druon did in the previous 3 books.

Je crois que c’est le livre de la saga que j’ai le moins apprécié lire. L’intrigue met plus de temps à s’installer que dans les trois premiers tomes et se concentre sur des personnages que j’apprécie moins. Cependant, la troisième partie rattrape le tout avec des retournements de situations qui m’ont rappelé pourquoi j’adore ces livres. J’ai hâte de lire la suite qui promet encore plus de manipulations sadiques et le retour d’Isabelle que j’attends avec impatience.
