Scarlet Lion

In this sequel to the Greatest Knight, William Marshall is now a powerful Earl. The writing and story are great and I love this book. I was so caught up in what would happen to him, balancing family, crazy English kings, French and Irish assets- I didn't dare look him up on Wikipedia to see how his life ended, I couldn't wait to find out. This was a fun and engaging read, another historical fiction to remind me how blessed I am. Although things may feel difficult at times I'm grateful to know I don't daily risk losing everything at the whim of a volatile king. The perspective is so refreshing and I loved this book and will surely read it again.
