“Adam Gidwitz spent six years researching and writing this epic story set in Medieval France…Gidwitz’ work is inspired by and alludes to real historical figures and explores the role that religion, class, and gender played during the middle ages. The tone is a bit less snarky and the humor a bit more sophisticated than the Grimm series, and the novel requires a more patient and thoughtful readership.”
