Loved reading about a time and place I've not yet explored in books. The pace was almost too slow, thankfully I was too intrigued by the people and place to get frustrated. I did find it very difficult to keep track of who was who, and who was where, after awhile and just gave up.
If you expect the story to jump straight into the crusades, you'll be much disappointed. This book is the first of a trilogy and so it starts with the story of the background of the main character and all that goes before he was sent to the crusades. In fact, you can view this as the first act. I guess one would have to be patient and learn all about the back story of the character in a whole volume, before the main action starts.
