A review by hspindlew
Alamut by Judith Tarr

4.0

Like most of Judith Tarr's books, I liked this novel. The plot was a tad...plotless, really. Meandering and vague, it sometimes succeeded in being a character piece of Aidan the Frankish knight living in a Saracen world - but more often than not it felt like Judith Tarr was interested in the crusades, and the knight Aidan, and thought I suppose I'll just write one novel to save time. Aidan and his two love interests were probably the weakest and wishywashiest characters - everyone else was quite interesting.
