Im writing one review for C.W. Gortners The Spymaster Chronicles series (The Tudor Secret, Conspiracy, and Vendetta) because I read them back to back and they flow very well as one continuous story.  Our hero and spymaster, Brendan Prescott, is truly a loveable character; the kind of guy youd love to have as a best friend or a boyfriend. He is humble, sometimes gives in to his weaknesses, and experiences a great deal of growth throughout the series. Typical of a Gortner character, he is never one- sided or flat, but is quite multidimensional and complex. I have been reading Gortner a bit backwards; having started with his latest novels, I am now working my way through his earlier publications and was delighted to discover this particular male lead whereas my previous experience with Gortner has been through female protagonists.  He gives a believable and entertaining voice to both male and female leads.

For anyone familiar with the world of the Tudors and Elizabeth I, this will feel like a family reunion of sorts with a few newly added relatives that fit seamlessly within the storyline and as effortlessly as if they were there all along in history. I will not give spoilers to the plotline, but there is plenty of action, intrigue, and tension to move the reader forward at a rapid pace. I never find myself breezing by certain passages in order to get to the good parts; all the parts are good. I love this authors descriptive abilities as well as his use of language. A couple of the series I read on kindle, and I love being compelled to click for the dictionary on words hes introduced me to.

This is certainly a great series that Id recommend to any reader, whether a follower of the Tudor era or not. Gortner proves that even in his first published works, hes a splendid talent and has continued to hone his already impressive storytelling skills.

Jeff Greenwald is the kind of traveler most people rightly want to be--insouciant, funny, compassionate and cyncal at the same time. He's seems to have been just about everywhere (I'm sure he'd scoff at that), and seen it all, but most of all one gets from his writing a special sense of hope. He clearly loves the world and all its inhabitants--and in the manner in which the whole wild and poignant panoply of life pains and delights him, he brings the reader to their own natural place of wonder. Even better (I've read three of his other books), I always find myself Greenwalded into an eddy of determination not only to make my own next trip real, but when I'm on it, to be a better observer and a better participant in the magic all about me.

I always get lost in the telling of the stories he writes, I can imagine myself in the book watching events transpire. I particularly like the unpredictable way he weaves his characters into unlikely scenarios, building their faith, and giving Jesus the glory. Inspiring and motivating!

I'll definitely be looking for more of his books. Can he possibly top this one? I look forward to finding out.

I love how Henry never breaks from his aesthetic of being alone and never letting relationships get in the way of his work. I really enjoyed how he talked about travels, all the beautiful scenery he sees and some of the locals being really friendly to him and making him laugh. It's very touching when he talks about his friends back in DC. How he's always in awe at being in their presence and really blessed that they remained in his life throughout years no matter how long he's been gone traveling throughout the world. There's definitely a sweet, passionate side to Henry along with his brute intensity that keeps me always reading books. Henry is never boring. You always learn something new engaging in his world.

I have thoughly enjoyed all of his series. His understanding of the world scene through Bibical insight makes his books extremely thought provoking. I have read all of his fiction books including the latest The Kremlin Conspiracy and I am anxiously awaiting the next one in that series. I am currently reading all of his nonfiction. His desire for nonbelievers to come to salvation through Jesus Messiah is a strong message throughout his books which really sets them apart from all other nonfiction books I have read. He has really stirred an interest in me to find out as much as possible about the God Magog battle and prophesy. He has really given me a lot of insight into the world of Islam, for which I am very grateful. I highly recommend his books to everyone.

This guys entire persona on the cover sold me. He looks like he is capable of anything! I want to be his friend pretty much. But seriously, I love the way he comes across to his readers and I like the ideas in this book. I will never be able to learn everything in here, but at least I have until I'm 80 to figure it all out.

Every time Peter V. Brett writes a new book and starts a new character arc I groan and roll my eyes, wishing it could be Arlen. And every time they turn into characters I love that captivate my interest with their humanity and ingenuity. Briar truly shines in this book and between his thrillingly adaptive fighting style and path to personal reconciliation he is again becoming a new favorite.
