I had no idea this was a series. It's a well written historical fiction that I am sure history buffs and men are going to enjoy. I thought it was pretty novel featuring Chaucer's son Thomas in the series. So much so, that I had to look him up! He's true to his career in this tale! Well-researched!
I received a Kindle ARC from Netgalley in exchange for a fair review.

Not my interest

No thank you. I continuously fell asleep while reading that is not my style at all. Sorry I just tell the truth.
