Our book club read Promise of the Black Monks for the October meeting. I thought you would like to know the thoughts of the club. Overall, those who were able to finish the book in the allotted time generally liked the book and enjoyed reading it. Those who started it, but hadn’t finished, enjoyed what they read thus far and planned to finish it.

All were in agreement that the foreshadowing was a strong point and they liked the character development actually developing over time and not all at once. Many members had their favorite character, but overall a favorite was Heidi.  All members would have liked to have had a family tree diagrammed in the book, as well as a map of the setting area to follow along for a visual clue. Also desired was a flow chart, so to speak, of real characters and fictional characters, as well as which stories were true vs. fictional or embellished with creative license.

Thank you again for the complimentary copies of the book and we all wish you the best of luck with the saga!

Warm regards,
