 The Silver Wolf - Alice Borchardt
Newest Review: ... offer to a lady of the royal Frankish house, knows it would be impolitic to refuse, and so sets out for Rome with his ragtag ... more  ... band of followers... The story that follows is rich, dark and gleaming. Borchardt is one of those rare writers with a perfect grip on the physical realities of the time she writes about. In her hands the decayed splendours of ninth century Rome, the plundered eternal city, come to life; squalid markets and leper colonies, papal palaces and gorgeous villas, sumptuous food and brutal warriors, a canvas of extremes, vividly realised.

A gripping fast flowing book that's impossible to put down. 
Once you've read 3 or 4 they all start to look the same. Great Story, Exciting None! Compelling Reading The end comes a little too soon, but there is another book in the series so it`s not a major disadvantage ;) Good characters and many funny moments... ... but less ingenuity or humour than you expect from a Discworld novel A book and a game all in one None A very smooth transition from adult fiction to young adult. Realistic characters, fast paced plot. Drags a little in places, cliffhanger ending.Learn with Me! Alphabet
