I don't have my copy yet. Sharon is going to be at a nearby Barnes and Nobles next Saturday so I will get a signed copy then. When I bought my Kindle, I vowed that I would buy hardcovers of Sharon's books to add to my collection. I have either signed books or bookplates for all her books.

[quote=""Sintra""]I am ordering a copy as soon as possible (i'm currently in the middle of Devil's Brood - i postponed the pleasure of reading it till Lionheart comes out).
I just wanted to ask if there's John (the Prince John one) in this. I looove John but reviews don't mention him, so i was wondering [/quote]
Oh he is in there! No worries on that front!
Berengaria and Richard just got into their first tiff and Joanna has found new respect for her. Loving this storyline so far!

I was looking at this at Barnes and Noble today. I was in the unfortunate situation of having too many books I wanted to buy and a sick car, but I may break down and buy this on Kindle over the weekend. I'm really eager to see how Penman handles Berengaria, whom I confess to much preferring over her mother-in-law.

LOL Misfit glad to know you feel my pain
I am catching glimpses of the book by what others are writing and now I want it even more! *stamps my foot*.....
Sintra--"I just wanted to ask if there's John (the Prince John one) in this. I looove John...."
I was hoping that SKP would include John(he is such a good baddie in a bad kind of way--if you get my drift ). Can't wait till my copy arrives.

The more that I have read of this book, the more that I like it. When I did the eastern Med cruise a few years back, one of the stops we made was at Haifa/Mt. Carmel, and I was instantly taken back there when I read about Richard's march south from Acre. However, I do think that Mt. Carmel is much closer to the sea than how it is placed in the story.
Does anyone know what the modern name/location for Acre is?
And does anyone have any thoughts as to what Arnaldia could be? I'm thinking that it could be along the lines of a hantavirus being the location and all that.
