Wife dies, immediately hooks up with hot outlaw woman he was fantasizing of assaulting. Cool, cool. Also, how convenient that Agnes's dying wish was for Tom to build a cathedral when before she was frustrated at him for how his cathedral obsession nearly ruined his family.

If Gyles doesn't get sick because he's such a good guy and apparently so "strong" he can become immune to a horrible plague... I swear to God... 🙄

I'm only a few pages in and already I'm asking so many questions. What is with this dialogue? Why do we keep switching POVs on the fly like this? Who is actually the main character? (I assumed it was Lady Anne from the synopsis). All the character exposition right off the jump is annoying me too.

I am now on The Mystery Knight. One of my issues with this book is that it is so focused on the past, it doesn't allow the present to breathe and develop. I'm not sure I can take much more reminiscing or history lessons...

I really enjoyed The Hedge Knight, but I'm not feeling The Sworn Sword as much. I'm admittedly a little lost on the history of Westeros. But I absolutely love Gianni's illustrations! They definitely elevate the book. I say we need more adult illustrated novels. Legends & Lattes would have been 10/5 stars with illustrations.

I am loving this book so much. I'm surprised it has such a low rating compared to others. I sense another 5 star favorite in my future!

"Her hair was covered by a veil and wimple, but it was not likely that her coloring was fashionably fair, for her eyes were dark."

Does Penman not know that blondes can have eye colors other than blue?

I've become so invested in Viv's story! It happened naturally thanks to Baldree's writing.

Justin de Quincy is the luckiest man alive. He's always getting saved by convenient deus ex machinas.
