Der letzte Auftrag des Ritters: Historischer Roman by Elizabeth Chadwick
4.0
Goodness me, this book was a struggle.
William the Marshall is quite possibly my favourite historical fiction character. I have loved all of the previous books about William, but whether this book didn't work for me because it is about his death or because it recounts his journey to the Holy Land during the period of the Crusades (not my favourite time period), I have had to force myself to finish his story.
I can't deny the research that must have gone into this novel but for me, the first fifty per cent of the novel didn't quite work, although it was worth persevering for the ending.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my review copy. I am truly sorry it has taken me so long to read the book!
