" better than the second book in the trilogy, not as good as the first, trilogy overall was between 'meh' and 'good'. How's that for a review? "

" I thought it went really slow. The first book was good, the second was ok, and this one was VERY slow. I could not read it very fast. It took me a grand total of two and a half weeks to read it because it was so slow! "
— Emma, 7/7/2012 -
" I thought Crossley-Holland dealt perfectly with the realities of the Crusade, along with his terrific, almost hypnotic storytelling. His characters are understated and deeply portrayed. "
