[...] This is the fourth book in the Devil’s Brood series. This review does not contain spoilers for the previous book, beyond the actual history. I have previously reviewed the third book, The Devil’s Brood. [...]

I am a huge fan of Sharon Penman and have read all her books. Devil’s Brood is fantastic, and I hated for it to end. This is one writer who really makes history come alive. She makes me believe that it really could have been like this, and these are real flesh and blood people. It doesn’t matter that they lived and died 800 years ago! Now we have to patiently wait for the next book from this gifted writer. Sigh…..

[...] The Briton, in particular, has extremely modern sensibilities and voice. Having recently read Sharon Kay Penman’s “Devil’s Brood,” set in England in roughly the same period, the difference in period feel is striking. That being [...]

I can’t read books out of order, so even though I am mega excited to have a new Penman book I won’t be reading it for a while! I still have to read Time and Chance. The irony of that is, I didn’t read Time and Chance when I first got it because I wanted to save it until closer the release date of Devil’s Brood!!

Sometimes my logic (or lack of) astounds me!

I’ve never been a big fan of historical fiction but lately I’ve been reading some for book clubs and I’ve enjoyed them all. I was pleasantly surprised! This book sounds like one of those surprises. Usually with a series I try to start from the beginning so I will have to check into the other two as well. This is a great site and I’ve been looking at it for inspiration as I set up my new blog (that I have no clue how to do). You have such good reviews and fun contests. Thanks for your help!

I love historical fiction especially when it is set in England. This sounds good.

I’ve ordered this book and am impatiently awaiting its arrival. I always appreciate an author’s note at the end of a book, to know what’s really what, and who was real, who was fictional. Having already read the first two books of the trilogy, I’m more than ready for Devil’s Brood.

Nicole,
If you don’t know any of the history, it definitely might help to start from the beginning, but you could possibly get enough to just read Devil’s Brood with a look through wikipedia and perhaps a short summary history of Henry II’s rule.
