Good - very rich. Funny, the blurbs kept talking about it being hilarious - what was funny? Everyone reacted reasonably. Maybe I'm too immersed in the medieval viewpoint - even Pagan thinks the monks' rules are reasonable, just annoying. I suppose someone who didn't know how they thought then might

find them funny - self-imposed random restrictions...Or maybe it's the reaction to the girl? I was too busy worrying about her to find her funny. I don't know. Good story, I want the next one.

Another compelling look into Pagan's world after he and Lord Roland enter a monastery. While Lord Roland looks for salvation Pagan discovers a plot to steal alms from the poor and becomes determined to reveal the conspiracy behind it.

It took me only one evening to read this book as I found it

impossible to put down. There is just something about seeing the world through Pagan's eyes and mind that I find very appealing. It was so very easy to sympathize with Pagan's anger over the injustices in the abbey and his dissolving relationship with Lord Roland.

Although I know that the last book of this series is actually not told from Pagan's POV, I'm still looking forward to reading the resolution of this series.
