#seriescompleted

John travels to Rome, currently under siege from the Huns, in answer to a call for help from Felix, who Justinian had sent to try and broker a peace, only to find that Felix has disappeared.

A great finale for the series, but it does leave the door open for further installments. I must admit, though, if I had been Cornelia in the epilogue I would probably have bopped John with the nearest piece of cooking equipment.

Palimpsest How are you enjoying the Ellis Peters mysteries? I read two and one I had already seen the movie version of. Do they have to be read in order? I think I didn‘t continue because I wasn‘t finding all of them at half price books and wanted to read them in order of publication. I specifically like that they are historical/ medieval. 6y
Andrew65 @Palimpsest They are very enjoyable reads, love the tibalries between the monks! I wasn‘t reading them in order and they held up very well, but decided to go back and try reading them in order to see if any underlying themes come through. They are set at a very turbulent time in English History. (edited) 6y
Palimpsest @Andrew65 thanks! I think I am going to re-visit them. Two of my favorite books are The Name of the Rose and Morality Play, so I‘m happy when I come across books of that ilk. 6y

Andrew65 @blithebuoyant I need to keep organised to keep me focused on what I need to do! 🙄 6y
blithebuoyant @Andrew65 The closest I get to organized is sorting my yarn by color! 😂 6y
