A review by tvrandhavane
Sovereign by C.J. Sansom

5.0

Sansom is intelligent. He has proved that in Dissolution and Dark Fire by weaving a mystery in a historical background. He continues the Shardlake story in Sovereign with another mystery.

Sansom's characters have an inherent characteristic according to which they behave in joy, in fear, in disappointment and in anger. For Shardlake it was his goodness, for Barak it was his loyalty. You can see this in the characters of this book too.

This book has many plot twists and it's unpredictableness keeps you hinged to the book. Sansom's characters are clever, you will find no action that is not supported by a reasonable cause. Sansom's knowledge of the people is evident.
