I read this This is a great book if you're looking for an adventure filled novel. I read this book when I was 18 and could hardly put the book down, it was so good.

I appreciated the realistic heroes and heroines- Right away I was confronted with the sins and failures of the saints. Throughout the story, they are disciplined by The Lord, chastened often severely and sanctified. This is an important message for anyone who has not learned, or forgets, as I do, that The Lord has called us to conflict and a cross.

The one problem I had was the failure of Haggard to comment on the murderous mob at the end, when Ramiro the Villain is killed. Of course, at this point, we are all very happy to see him go- Yet, still, it was an unrighteous method of execution, at the approval of Red Martin, everyone's favorite character. A swift trial and public execution would have been easy for the author and far more believable of these principled Christians.

The author goes on to justify the act as "the judgement of the people", insinuating the mob's will is law. This was shocking, as he condemns the angry mob earlier in the story in the scene when the evil priest is murdered. We all of us have inconsistencies, and in this scene we run head first into his.

I was glad to see Adrian come to repentance in the end, proving Martin's prediction "The Sire sets the strain. Overall, an excellent read and one you are not likely to forget. Jan 17, Thom Swennes rated it really liked it. This is a very moving tale of deceit, greed and human suffering. Count Juan de Montalvo a man you just love to hate forces Lysbeth into marriage in order to save her true love Dirk.

This is just the beginning of a long and harrowing tale of woe and conflict. I think this novel appeals to me as I live no more than 30 miles from Leiden, the city where most of the story took place. Henry Haggard has built up a cast of unforgettable characters and placed them in a time and place of great turmoil, resulting in a winning combination. I started this review with an axiom and would like to end it likewise as two presently come to mind.

This is really a great book and an even better story. I recommend it to all.
