A review by wild_night_in
La Loi des mâles by Maurice Druon

4.0

After a stumble with the audio version (wonderfully produced, but I can never get into audio books), I restarted the print version.

It was so so sad in so many places that I had to have long breaks between chapters. The next book looks as though it will be even darker, after the killer last line in "La Loi des mâles". Even though the political intrigues are no more gory than in the previous books, seeing the effects of the nobles' actions ripple out and completely ruin the lives of two of my favourite characters was really hard to bear.
