Customer Reviews
Excellent
I have been voraciously reading historical fiction for a long time and have found Christian Cameron’s writing to be excellent. I do believe, and I don’t say this lightly, that The Chivalry Series is the best I have ever read. A thoroughly enjoyable and immersive read.
Excellence
I’m beginning to think Cameron pisses excellence, because this series has been nothing short of….excellence.
Amazing
Unfortunately for me, I devoured this book too fast—nay, binged. I was irresponsible in my consumption (Greek shrug). I adore this story. I’ve read what I call “sword-and-shield” historical fiction for decades, but was never interested in Medieval fiction until Cameron’s Will Gold.
Read the series, soup-to-nuts. Then do it again. Gold, Hawkwood, Beppo, Bebo, Janet (who can forget Janet 😍?), Marie, The Visconti….all of them. I love them all. Cameron’s character development has reached a new high, and his ability to transport the reader to another time and place is unrivaled.
I can’t recommend this book enough. I guess I’ll just reread it and then wait patiently for the next installment of Will Gold’s adventures.
And Christian, I’m also patiently waiting for Swan.
