Welcome to Litsy!

This one was intense. It seems the tension between Rhys, Catrin, the rest of the Welsh and King Edward may come to a head sooner or later, but seemingly sooner. There were a few times I thought Rhys and/or Catrin might lose their heads, along with about 1,000 bards. I couldn‘t help laughing at Rhys‘s use of his “husbandly authority” to get Catrin a bath and some sleep when he clearly would have preferred to go with her and get some sleep himself.

I couldn‘t help laughing at this. It‘s just so Rhys (and oddly, Gareth as well). I imagined Rhys deciding to live vicariously through his wife during her nap after everyone had been up all night trying to keep an entire castle from going up in flames.

I‘m so excited to return to the world of Rhys and Catrin.
Here. We. Go.

“So it is divine retribution, then. The Lord God thought to take Alfonso from me, as punishment for I know not what sins.”
Oh really, Eddie? You can‘t think of a single thing you‘ve done that might not be the greatest? I‘ll give you a minute to think. … Nothing? Innocent as a lamb, are ya?

I started this on Thursday after work. I am having a blast with it so far.

I can‘t believe I didn‘t get an alert about this coming out in April (although I wasn‘t paying a lot of attention). I‘m so excited to have it now, though. I know what I‘ll be doing this weekend, now!
@Texreader it‘s not Rome or anything, but it is an adventure through history. I think everyone will have noses in this, though. lol

I have finished these three books so far since the beginning of the #awesomeapril #readathon. I‘m so proud of myself. I have thoroughly enjoyed these three audiobooks, and I really like the stained glass style of the three covers. The cover art for this series is absolutely brilliant.

This is officially the best book of this series so far. It brings the tiniest, seemingly insignificant things together from the previous two books and suddenly those things are so important. This story takes place mere weeks after the events of book 2, so it feels very rapid and almost urgent throughout. There is a maybe murder, and then a definitely murder, and you don‘t get any real hints until the final few chapters. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Paladin is rooted in historical fact:
three weeks
after King Edward's
Arthurian-esque
tournament
in
Nefyn, intended to celebrate his tri-
umphant conquest
of Wales,
his
eldest living son, Alfonso, died of an
unspecified illness. Always a healthy
child, unlike his elder brother Henry,
the death was unexpected and with-
out explanation, since he had already
survived the usual childhood dis-
eases that killed so many children
before the age of five.

I‘m so excited to start this next audiobook, just as soon as I get some sleep. I haven‘t had the energy to actually look at words and interpret their meaning in quite a while, so I‘ve been plodding along with this book, just a few pages at a time since 8 January. With Tom Mumford narrating again, this promises to be a great audiobook, and much easier to handle right now.
