Commentary In Pursuance Of Books The Champion

Recommended for: fans of historical romances
I absolutely loved this book! It was one that intrigued me straight away with its beautiful cover, it stood out on the shelf. This book is not my normal type of book with it being a sort of historical romance novel.
The characters that are featured in the novel are very well described so that when you close your eyes you can imagine them and image the places they live in. The novel is set in the 1100's in Normandy, and see's the adventures, the ups and the downs of a girl called Monday. This book quickly captured my mind and was one that I could easily get caught up in, the characters are all very likeable and realistic which makes it all that bit easier to get caught up in Mondays life and you feel for her when she has to suffer through hard parts of her life.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and..... it certainly wont be the last one I read by her, it has me completely hooked on this genre. I thought that this book was brilliantly written and keeps a great pace throughout making you want to keep on reading the novel.

I knew I would love it. It is beautiful.A nice stand alone historical novel about a period that's not based on the Tudors.
Set against the backdrop of tourney circuits, monasteries and the royal courts of both King Richard and John during the late 12th and early 13th century, The Champion tells the story of the tumultuous love affair between Alexander de Montroi and Monday de Cerizay after they meet on the jousting tourney fields of France.Having fled the sexual advances of a corrupt priest in the monastery where he had been pledged, Alexander de Montroi arrives in Normandy and pleads with his brother Hervi, a
This is my first Elizabeth Chadwick book, so i didn't really know what to expect.The book was good, but i got to a point where i was constantly confused. I didn't like the fact that it was written in 3rd person. I'm a fan of 1st person novels, but that wasn't the worst, it was the fact that Elizabeth constantly changed perspectives, points of view. I was getting an inside of Monday, and all of a sudden there was a description of a forest, and you're WTH, she was sad or what ever. All in all the
Another reliably entertaining and enjoyable read from Elizabeth Chadwick; an easy read.
Enjoyable book. Parts of the story were slow reading. The ending was the part I was drawn into the most. Was transported to earlier days, but felt like I was outside looking in rather than drawn into the times.
