Persevere, I struggled with this book for the first fifty
pages but I am happy I continued. This is
loosely based on Frankish history in the time of the Merovingian Kings. I plead abject ignorance of the time and era
so I won’t comment on anything historical.
The plot as I saw it was a dysfunctional family struggling to maintain
power when the Christian Church was striving to limit secular rule regardless of
morality.
The main characters have few laudable characteristics with
the possible exception of Trudi, Pippin, and Helden. There is intrigue and a
wealth of treachery. There are some
complicated interpersonal relationships with a bit of the Stockholm Syndrome
thrown in to further complexity.
There is swordplay and battles as well as more moronic
treachery.
I recommend the book.
