Nova Europa #2
Quaestiones or The Protopresbyter's Tale: A Romance of Nova Europa
This title is set in the year of Our Lord 1270, or 910 by the Julian reckoning. Brother Theophilus of the Abbey of Saint-Tranquillin le Troussequin is having a crisis of faith, and asks his Abbot to be released from his vows to undertake a year's journey of discovery. Father Abbot agrees, but only after insisting that the young and ungovernable Brother Gennadius, who needs the seasoning that a voyage into the unknown will bring, accompany the monk on his travels. Fra Theophile is forced to agree, and is also required to include a third companion, a loud-mouthed parrot named Rufus. Their venture through the Christian and Muslim Middle Eastern kingdoms of the world of Nova Europa is filled with magic and wonder and discovery and gentle humour. It is intended for fantasy readers everywhere.

Didn't actually finish it. It just couldn't keep my attention. I felt like it couldn't decide whether to a serious story or just a vehicle to slip in pop culture references in a tongue in cheek way. I really wanted to like this book and see how it was going to end, but I just couldn't bring myself to go on.
