The Heart of the Lion (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Rave reviews from Goodreads readers: "There are hero knights, sword fights, chases, and escapes before all is concluded in this tale loosely based on British history. This is an enjoyable read and one which you read quickly simply because you won't want to put it down." Karen M. Goodreads "There is political intrigue, conspiracies and mysteries in this book. This is well written, believable and exciting. The author does a great job of finding a balance between having a clever plot that keeps you guessing and keeping the plot easy to follow. " --Richard, Goodreads "The beauty of this book, though, is the way Mr. Barlog weaves truth and fiction to create a book that was very hard to put down. He takes a bit of license but that is the joy of reading fiction." --Patty, Goodreads "This is the first book that I've read from this author and I was really impressed." --Glen, Goodreads One woman's courage will decide the fate of the English crown. The Heart of the Lion is King Richard the Lionheart's England at its most tumultuous. His kingdom teeters on the verge of a bloody war, with the victor taking the crown and death the punishment to the vanquished.
