Not the best of the series. I still enjoyed it and will read any others that are published. The series is predictable but nice reading that moves along smoothly.

The plot advances at a good pace and keeps the reader interested. I did feel the characters could have sometimes been easier to identify with but they were mainly engaging, as was the storyline.

I did enjoy this book, but there were just a few spots where it felt like it slowed down a bit - not a lot, but the pace was not consistent and most of the book moves along nicely.  The descriptions of the people and places were vivid and I enjoyed the characters very much.  Funny dialogue and interesting plot.  Just a nice story.

It is light hearted reading with pleasant characters. The setting is in an interesting historic place in the British Isles.
There is nothing profound here; The modest mystery is just a vehicle for a quick enjoyable read.
Similar to, but not as good as, the Roman legion physician in Ruth Downey's Medicus series.

This was a fast, enjoyable read.  The story moved at a brisk pace with several mini-stories being nicely blended around a single event.

This is a finely written story line with a nice pace, and well-defined characters. The author does not spell-out everything at the beginning, thus gradually pulling the reader into the story. I can certainly recommend the series to anyone who enjoys an off-beat tale. Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review, but, I'm happy to say, that in no way has that influenced my rating.

This is a gentle read.  Slow and descriptive, it is the story of Guillaume.

Guillaume's rise to knighthood, his training, his politcal acumen and integrity give focus to this hero of twelfth century England.

As one ventures further into the historical novel, the reading pace does quicken and one can get caught in this time of the high middle ages.

While I did not read the two prior historical novels by this author leading to the conclusion in 'The Golden Throne', I had no difficulty assimilating and enjoying the read.

It was refreshing (believe it or not) to go back in time when wars and fighting and relationships were at a different pace...sans technology.

I once again enjoyed transporting myself to this era and viewing the hero Guillaume.

This book moved along so that there wasn't a chapter you could skip without something exciting happening.  An enjoyable read.

I liked the descriptions of flowers, scenery, facial expressions, and gestures.
I enjoyed the progression of the story, not too fast and not too slow.

The book is moving along at a good pace. The handful of characters we get to know are fun. I'm headed to the next book!

Nice job keeping the storyline moving.  I would recommend this as a light read.  Characters were well developed, not to cliche.

This is a good story to read if you are just looking to be entertained, maybe a poolside read.  The characters are developed and interesting, if not universally likeable. The plot meanders at times but is not to complex or  convoluted to follow. If you like character driven writing, which I do, and you like a little fantasy (magic in this case) thrown in this will be a read that satisfies the relax and read feeling.
