Historical novel set in a medieval spain brewing with powerstruggles between christian and islamic kings, popes, emirs, knights, priests and a few all too calculating women. Bulnes does a wonderful job juggling all the names and differing intentions and motivations, but the novel never really drives forward or comes to live. While there‘s plenty of detail and a lot of poetry, it lacks somewhat in creating a convincing scenery.
