Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book was like a modern crime story plunked down in the middle of Medieval Wales. Aside from some of the characters being based on the names of actual persons who lived in the 12th century the rest of it is modern as it can be. Knights in the 12th century used a broad sword. They used daggers. They were called sir. They did not speak in the jargon of a modern crime scene investigator. There was a distraction that broke the flow of the fictive dream on nearly every page. I wanted to like it and I was curios to learn what happened. Even the ending was a disappointment. The title is the Good Knight. I expected the story to be about the Knight. It was not. I wanted the language and the descriptions of life to feel authentically historical and larger than life. I wanted to find a character that I cared about. I found non of those thing things. What this book needs is a good editor and publisher who will help the author fix the worst of its flaws. That being said, Gareth's surname Rhys, is on my family tree, so it can't be all bad.
