A review by kirkw1972
Der letzte Auftrag des Ritters: Historischer Roman by Elizabeth Chadwick
4.0
I recently read one of Chadwick's Autumn Throne and loved it and it was recommended that I pick up the William Marshal books to read. Before I had chance to do that this latest book showed up on netgalley so in typical style I'm reading everything back to front. However with this story it doesn't matter.
It's quite a self contained story that flits between Marshal's last days and memories of a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. I really enjoyed the love story embedded within this both of William and the one of his brother Ancel. I enjoyed the relationships of William and his brother. All of it just really worked for me.
There's a lot of action; it was a turbulent time. It's very easy to immerse yourself into the time and place and imagine everything as was back then. The present day moments broke the story up really well.
Overall this is a great book and now I really do need to go back and read the rest
