Montfort, vol. 2
24 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
This is a great book. It held my attention from beginning to end. well researched and well written, there was much adventure action as well as telling the story of Montfort's fight to advance himself socially and financially. A fascinating character in an exciting time in history, the book is a great read. As volume 2 continues Ashe manages to keep the story moving with the same pace and grace that distinguishes the first volume. Montfort saves himself from the unjust accusations of his enemies and continues his quest for more power and glory. The book brings to vivid life the complexities 13th century politics and society, as Simon risk all in his quest for his rightful place in the world he lives in. Volume 3 promises to be even better.
Alongside Simon
14 May 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
In The Viceroy, Katherine Ashe continues her saga of Simon de Montfort, and seeks to paint an accurate portrait of Simon's continuing trials and his quest for parliamentary rule. The Viceroy is an enjoyable read that contains more than a few gems of truth, nail-biting drama, and the heady feeling of victory after a long battle. The reader will ride alongside of Simon as he charges into the fray, utilizes a secret new weapon of war, and languishes in a lonely tower with his son, surrounded by his many enemies.
The emotions of frustration and longing that Ashe sows into your psyche at the novel's outset will easily allow you to assert, "I was there with Simon..."

Jumping into it
24 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Without having read Volume I, I read Volume II of Katherine Ashe's Simon de Montfort series, and found enough good descriptons of characters and events, along with action for me to follow it well. Even though there were lots of names and personages all through "The Viceroy" it was easy to keep my focus on the main characters and their issues.
Simon's guilt at his adultry, his deep grief at not being able to go on the crusade to the Holy Land, and his patience and frustration with the deceptive,vacillating King Henry, all intrigued me. I leared much about 13th century England, its hierarchy and its financial woes through this well-written book. I want to keep on reading in the series to see what happens to Simon, a deeply devout but conflicted man of his time; a fearless warrior and a loyal subject severly tried, but so far, true to his king.
