Thanks to Random House for the free advance copy of this book.
- OH MY HEART, THIS BOOK! I never thought I would care about European kings from a thousand years ago but now I will go into battle for Philip and Richard.
- SOLOMON'S CROWN envisions the rival kings as secret lovers, opposites inexorably drawn to each other. They both know the relationship can never be, and both fall into it willingly anyway.
- Be forewarned that there is a lot of political gamesmanship here, as they are warring over a few duchys throughout the book. But Siegel makes it all fairly easy to follow, and of course, the relationship between the two kings is really the driving force of the book.
