Reviews with the most likes.
I've been reading Penman's books for over 20 years now and have always really liked them. However, I didn't really enjoy the style of info dumping in this book and that affected my overall enjoyment of the book.
The book focuses on King Richard's return from the crusades, his capture/imprisonment and his final war with the King of France. I felt like too much activity was kept off camera, which led to characters telling each other of past events to catch the reader up. If you like Penman's work, I'd recommend this, but definitely not as a jumping off point for new readers.
