I love history and have this horrible tendency to trust the written word (I know!) so I always have to make sure that the historical novels i read are based on sound research!joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952558113054391317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-34468795831666394342008-05-16T01:16:00.000-05:002008-05-16T01:16:00.000-05:00I do have a somewhat sensitive stomach,and reading...I do have a somewhat sensitive stomach,and reading something is as bad as watching a film, sometimes worse!

Thankfully, The Crusader is a much, much shorter book, so you're not exposed to Don Fernando to the extent you were Sir William, but he is a horrible human being. And he does *not* win! :-)<BR/><BR/>LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-58621390706594513442008-05-15T09:26:00.000-05:002008-05-15T09:26:00.000-05:00I'm not sure I can handle a Sir William-esque vill...I'm not sure I can handle a Sir William-esque villain ever again. When I was about halfway through Pillars, I had to go to Wikipedia and found out the ending, because I absoutely refused to keep reading it if Sir William ended up on top. If I had known how bad he was going to be, I don't think I ever would have read it (of course, that would have been to my severe disadvantage, since the rest of the book is wonderful enough to outweight him).
