An instant medieval horror classic

Revisado: 01-23-25

The narration is well above average, and does a lot to help give the listener a better understanding of the characters.

The story is amazing to the lovers of the medieval horror genre and is now tied with Between Two Fires for my personal favorite book. Most of the characters are well developed, in truth I would give the story a 4.5 stars instead of 5 if I was able to because, there are characters who are mostly ineffectual to the story and some are kinda 1 dimensional and it seems that when the author doesn’t really know what to do with the weaker written characters he just makes them go away. If you are not that into real history, especially the crusades, then the first 3ish hours of the book will be a drag as the author takes his time setting up the plot by using and explaining actual crusader politics. If you like history and middle eastern religious lore, then you’ll love the book all the way through.

My favorite thing about the book is how much knowledge and work the author put in to making real life legends fit into each encounter and the overall plot. I found myself looking up and researching every unfamiliar name and location I heard in the story and I learned far more about the location and religious stories these things are based on.

Incredible read!
