"'There are no limits. Don't be afraid to try something new'"
Towards the end of the book, there is a conversation between two characters about impermanence and how it changes people and outcomes. Alina de Florac, aged 14, after having lost her parents and her sister are taken by illness. She and her brother Milos become wards of her father's brother:a rather caustic outcome as Uncle Garsanc and Aunt Marci see them as poor relations: mad at Milos ,15, for not having a marketable skill and unable to present Alina as a suitable bride. It didn't matter to them who these two young people had skills they chose not to see, for dreamers weren't in their understanding.
To challenge their future sets them on the adventure of a lifetime. Would you send a 14 and 15 year old halfway across the known world to a culture so foreign it makes adults' heads spin? Talk about growing up fast!
I liked this book as someone who knows theological history, and how this time frame ran. It's got to be a challenge to write for your audience; for your time line in history. Taking fictional characters and interweaving them into the real history around the Crusades, as Malve von Hassell herself says, is complicated. There are a few scenes where today's challenges over-road history that made me cringe. However all in all the book was a page turner that I read in one sitting and recommend for the age range it's aimed at. Recommended 4/5
