The Eight by Katherine Neville

5.0

If you’re into chess, history and plausible enough apocrypha/mysticism, then this will be a fun read. It won’t make you exceptionally erudite in French history or teach you in depth about Knight’s Tours, but will likely pique interest in both - enough to read onward and outward. To me, this is what should have been optioned, over say, The Da Vinci Code - similar ish conceptually but more enjoyable.
