ORIGINAL: Orm I am currently reading The Ill-Made Knight by Christian Cameron. http://www.amazon.co.uk/372/dp/1409137503/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1437901669 Orm: How is this, I was looking at giving it a try but I prefer Fantasy above all, is this strictly Historical Fiction, is this Adult themed, Dark themed, First person or Third person POV? Anything you could add to help me make a decision my Friend. Thanks in advance, Now if Only Part 3 of "the Passage, the Twelve" would come out??? I liked it. It is a fictionalized account of a historical character, William Gold, that wants to become a English Knight and in his struggle to become one eventually joins mercenaries in order to support himself. The perspective of the book is a sort of narrative. The main character, now an old, experienced, English Knight, tells his story to a young gentleman while they sit in a inn. At first I had some difficulty getting used to this but after a while I really enjoyed it. It is about the fighting in France during the hundred years war and then in Italy. It is a historical fiction but in some ways it feels like a fantasy novel. There is a darkness in the book but it was a tough, dark, time. France has been ravaged by the war. Many small skirmishes between the major battles and they have an authentic feel about them. I really look forward to reading the next part of the life and adventures of Sir William Gold. Here is what Wikipedia says about the books: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Cameron#Chivalry_Series Thanks my Friend, it is next on my reading list. Much appreciated!
