rajigo 's review for:

When Christ and His Saints Slept by Sharon Kay Penman
2.75
adventurous informative slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This one had a great beginning and end, but was such a slog in the middle, I almost DNF-ed multiple times. The bulk of this book was siege after siege after siege after siege, and for me all the drama of the war got lost in the repetition. Hopefully the next book is more like the author's Welsh trilogy, which is awesome.
