""Richard Plantagenet, Duke of Gloucester, King of England, was killed in battle 22 August 1485 at a place called Redmoor Plain, near the village of Market Bosworth. Until recently, many historians dated the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance from Richard's death, as if he were personally standing in the way of History."
A fascinating yet telegraphic fantasy, set in an alternate history where Christianity is nearly absent and Constantinople never gets sacked. I need to reread it."
"It was an engrossing story and I liked it. Vampires, wizards, Plantagenets, what's not to like? Ford knows a lot about the history of the late middle ages, and it shows - this alternate history is well grounded in real history. However the novel has an oblique style that I found a bit frustrating. Major parts of the story seem to take place essentially off stage.
He would lead you right up to some happening; a knife is approaching the character and then, pphhmmmff, you are somewhere else with some other character who is having lunch. A couple chapters later the character who was being approached with a knife shows up with a bandage on. Nobody really discusses what happened. A character is fleeing through the forest, a shot rings out, zip, you're at the lake with a different character. Later the forest guy shows up with a limp. A character has a secret. Three chapters later everyone knows the secret. How? I dunno.
A couple times I actually checked the pagination to see if maybe there were some pages missing or I'd had some sort of memory lapse. So I found that odd and a little irritating. Kind of like when you were a kid and the grown ups wouldn't tell you what was going on so you had to guess based on observation."
"This book is really good, right from the start. It's set in an alternate history where Rome has risen again (now called Byzantium) and they are sharing France with England and are getting ready to march on Italy. The Medicis are featured and mention of Henry VIII is also made. The first part was split between three characters in each country. Even though I'm so tired at night, I can't help reading it.
It's an excellent book, but I've lost all brain power and now have no idea at all what is happening. Literally. With about 1/3 left, there is no way I could tell you what is happening after the first part."
