A review by odelolly
The Cross-Legged Knight by Candace Robb

4.0

I couldn't decide how to rate this one but choose to go with the high points as it did keep me reading at a quick pace, eager to see the conclusion. It was well researched, the historical points that have some question were decided clearly. I enjoyed a couple of the characters immensely, especially The Riverwoman, Magda. There was a bit too much physical description of nastiness for my taste but it surely put me right into the moment! The main trouble for me was Owen Archer himself...I'm not too sure I like him. He's quick enough, sure enough for his role but he seemed a very selfish man at times (aren't we all though?) and there was a bit of harping on his wife's illness...honestly he couldn't have solved things nearly so well without her! I read reviews on Amazon and see that this might not have been the best of the book series and will certainly give it a second go.
