Join Prince Aidan, son of a mortal king and an immortal enchantress, and the deathless Assassin Morgiana, in a saga of war and truce, betrayal and honor, hate and love. One of my favorite books of all time!
By A Customer Judith Tarr is the queen of historical fantasy! Magical creatures and the mundane world blend seamlessly in this novel set in the time of the Crusades: occasional appearances are made by kings, warriors, and even Saladin himself! One can almost believe that the world was once like this, and that we are unimaginably diminished by the loss of the magic and wonder that once was a part of everyday life.
This novel has mystery, romance, adventure, and some of the most fascinating and memorable characters in all fiction. I've read this book over twenty times, never tiring of it, and loving it each time more than the last.
Wonderfully Memorable Story By BlueDoll I first read this book when I was in high school, working as a page in the local public library. I read it several times, often enough that I would locate it by its location on the shelf rather than looking up the author in the now defunct card catalog. Years later I could remember the plot, the color of the cover and elements of the graphical layout of the cover but had forgotten the author or the title. It took me a bit of sleuthing, but thanks to persistence and my degree by then in library and information science I tracked it down in a database and had the joy of rediscovering it.
Judith Tarr, in Alamut, created a world in which the boundary between historical events and magic was very thin, and handled the characters beautifully. This book was wonderful to rediscover, and I highly recommend it to fans of historical fantasy. I give it five stars for being one of those stories that embedded itself into my consciousness and never let go. Andreas I have been a fan of Judith Tarr for decades, and her writing never disappoints.
This is indeed a fantasy novel, however, as with all of her books, it is rooted firmly in history. It gives insight into the Middle East of Crusader times - the culture, the tensions and the incredible mess the Crusaders made of their efforts to own the Holy Land. If you loved The Hound and the Falcon and its sequels, then you will enjoy this book.
