Historical novels always intrigue me because I love reading about what might have happened to individuals in the midst of another historical era. Cassandra Clark's Sister Hildegaard series provides interesting mysteries and characters that continue to develop as they face the difficulties of the 14th century--the personal (even if fictitious) touch. Some elements that interested me concerned the Miracle or Mystery Plays of the time, Wycliff's Bible, the papal schism, and of course, there are still the after-effects of Wat Tyler's murder and the John of Gaunt/ Richard II political turmoil.
Thumbs up.

ReplyDeleteSounds good! I may have said that before for the same series...
ReplyDeleteSherri - I enjoy this series. It is interesting in more than one way.
ReplyDeleteKailan - :) Yep, I've reviewed all 3 books fairly close together.
I'm going to have to look more closely at C.C.'s list of books. I've read only a very few and none of this particular series.
ReplyDeleteAnnie - I've enjoyed this series very much. I've read one of the Clockwork series that I enjoyed as well, and the two series are entirely different.
