Robin Hood meets The Winter King and Snow White and The Huntsman with a touch of Lord of the Rings and The Witcher in this medieval fantasy mystery. What an incredible read! A rare thrilling combination of the medieval period, magic and mystery. The writing is very descriptive, you can tell exactly how André wanted you to imagine his characters, locations, architecture and action. I love any story that is rich in detail: I really felt like I was there! Its style is akin to J.R.R. Tolkien’s LOTR trilogy and Bernard Cornwell’s The Winter King trilogy with a little bit of Elizabeth Chadwick’s books. If you like any or all of these authors, you should absolutely check this story out! I loved how many strong female characters were within this book, mostly Juliet and Mariette but Louise too. I adored the bond between the two sisters as they worked together to solve the mystery.
