Keep in mind, this book takes place in Barcelona of the XIV century ... Very different beliefs from ours.

a_blue_sun's review against another edition
1.5
If you don’t want to read about large amounts of sexual violence towards women, skip this book. The translation is clunky and I felt like the series dragged. As far as I can tell the book is well-researched and historically accurate. Most of he characters seemed flat and uninteresting, and I don’t think any of the female characters had any motivations that weren’t directly connected to the central male character.
