David McK (3938 KP) rated Templar Assassin (Mongol Knight #2) in Books
Oct 25, 2026
Picking up from the end of the first story (Templar Traitor], this is now presented as Robert telling his tale whilst on trial in September 1241, mostly taking the form a a flashback with a few odd interruptions to the 'here and now'.
And, as before, I've found it to be an inferior story to any of Donald's Outlaw series, about a 'gangsterish' about Robin Hood.
I'm not sure whether that's because of the presentation (third person, instead of the first person of Alan a Dale in those other novels), whether it's because I don't find Robert to be as interesting a character, or whether because the setting just isn't as enticing to me. Or maybe all three?
That's not to say it's a bad read - it's not, by any means - but just that, for me, the currently released two books out of the Mongol Knight soon-to-be trilogy just haven't resonated with me as much.

Rachel P (2 KP) rated The Underground Railroad in Books
Jan 4, 2018
It was easy to read and hard to put down, but I also found it very impersonal. There were a lot of "action sentences" and not much reflection or introspection. The book is written in third person, which may be why I found myself reading about rape and mistreatment without flinching. I also considered maybe the author was trying to show the reader that most people born into slavery during that time had become so accustom to seeing other people mistreated that they showed very little reaction. Either way, it's not a novel that will cause you to reflect on it for weeks to come, which is ultimately what I expected.
