''Lionheart'' is the latest book in the ''Devil’s Brood'' series, which focuses on the dysfunctional Angevin branch of the Plantaganets. As the title suggests, the story is a richly detailed account of the life of Richard I, covering the period from his coronation up to the end of the third crusade.
The book is no lightweight read at 600 pages long, but it rewards the reader with a remarkable insight into the life of this misunderstood king. With many of my preconceptions about Richard changed, I look forward to the sequel.
For an alternative account of the Third Crusade, try [[Crusade by Elizabeth Laird]]. We also have a review of [[Prince of Darkness by Sharon Penman]].
