Welcome to Litsy!

Decent read. It's good as a broad introduction to the history of the Normans. The book covers several different historical events, such as William the Conqueror, the Norman conquest of Sicily, and the 1st Crusade. However, I feel that the author tries to cover too much material in too short of a book. As a result, several events aren't covered in as much detail as they could've been.

Next up for reading.

This is my least favorite of the Norman trilogy. There were many melodramatic scenes especially when Stephen and Matilda have their “passionate” moments,the plot was still interesting. I didn‘t like the two main characters especially Matilda. She is an entitled, arrogant, ruthless brat! I wish I could reach through the pages and punch her. Stephen is a weak pushover fuck boy that just annoyed me with his decisions and his passiveness.

Slow reading month. The Lion of Justice took me forever to finish because it was so boring and of course 300 and something pages.
Sleepless was short sweet and simple read I needed after that. #Septemeberwrapup #readingstats

So boring and I couldn‘t wait to finish.

Not bad. Had some cheesy dialogue but otherwise a good story. Made me interested in learning more about William the Conqueror and Matilda.

Wish I could stay home and read but have to Work 😑🙄

Starting alllll the way from the beginning

This work of historical fiction, set in 11th-century Britain, is still TBR. Has anyone read this author? She writes mysteries under the pen name of Fiona Buckley.
