A review by gwentolios
The Falconer's Knot by Mary Hoffman

I've read Hoffman's other books, the Stravaganza ones and loved them to death. So I was really disappointed by this one. I felt no connection to the characters, the plot was only mildly interesting, and as a whole the book was very, very simple. Even for a YA book. However, it's very obvious that Hoffman did her research and the look into the lives of monks and nuns during the Medieveal times is nice to see. I particularly enjoyed reading about the processes that went into to making colored inks.
