Commentary During Books Requiem: The Fall of the Templars (Brethren Trilogy #3)

The internationally bestselling author of Brethren and Crusade tells the cataclysmic story of the last days of the Knights Templar. Robyn Young’s historical fiction has topped international bestseller lists and won praise from the likes of Raymond Khoury, Steve Berry, and Alison Weir. The Fall of the Templars chronicles an era few people know about—what happened when the Templars returned from the Crusades and found that the monarchs of Europe did not want an army of religious warriors back on European soil. Leaving the Christian empire in the East in ruins, Knight Templar Will Campbell returns to the West to discover that the Temple has forged an alliance with his enemy, King Edward of England, vowing to help the king wage war on Scotland. This pact against his homeland strikes at the core of Will’s faith and allegiances, while his daughter, Rose, is led into a dangerous affair in the French royal household. Will now faces a choice: Should he protect his family, or lead his men into a new world? The fight for the Holy Land has ended. But the Temple’s last battle has just begun.

Column Out Of Books Requiem: The Fall of the Templars (Brethren Trilogy #3)

A really good book touching on the downfall of the Templars and the adventures of William Campbell and friends Simon, David and Robert. The story also touches on William Wallace and Edward Longshanks the Hammer of the Scots and England's fight with Scotland and France. William is a Templar who travels to Paris where he meets his daughter Rose and his battle with the French lawyer Nogaret who was determined to bring about the downfall of the Templars. Phillipe of France a weak King was fighting

Robyn Youngs Templar Trilogy enchants the reader like a knowing but forlorned love. After all, anyone with a pedestrian knowledge of Western history knows how a 1500-page trilogy on the Knights of the Temple will ultimately end very badly. Throughout Brethren, Crusade, and this book, the Fall of the Templars (the Fall), I always wondered, what will Will, Robert, and their friends do?The first two parts of the Fall took a long time for me to read. But on part III, the novel really picked up its

I can't decide which of these three books was my favourite. But I have to say, this one was particularly epic because (view spoiler)[Will returns to Scotland and we finally meet his estranged family (hide spoiler)]!Like its predecessors, the interaction of the historical figures and events isn't just Templars vs Muslims, the book also considers other influences, political or otherwise, that intertwine with the plot of the book.This one focuses (as the freakin' title says) on the Fall of the

If youre interested in historical fiction set in medieval Europe and are keen on conspiracies involving Popes, Kings and Templars I recommend reading Robyn Youngs third Templar book in the trilogy. Requiem is particularly refreshing because of the style of language that evokes the emotional landscape of her characters quite well, bringing their hopes, ambitions, dreams and vulnerabilities to life on the page. For that reason, the reader gets quickly pulled into the conspiratorial plots brewing

2.5 starsSlightly better than the other two - read to tie up the trilogy as I hate loose ends. Readable but the dialogue is gauche and the plotting weak. Many characters are irritating.

At last I've waded my way through the last of Robyn Young's Templar trilogy. My criticisms here are much the same as with the earlier 2: First she doesn't deal with the battle scenes particularly well, her forte is the interior landscape of her characters' thoughts, rather than painting the larger, more gory panoramas that help you visualise what is supposed to be happening when two armies come to blows. Second, she tries to cover too much time and too many key historic events in one book. I

Ugh, I really tried to give this piece of crap a chance, but the jejune dialogue rendered all of the characters unbelievable and clunky. Young's description of clothing and environment reads like flickering images that focus upon strange details that in no way enhance the storytelling. She takes for granted that everyone must know the names of every item comprising a full set of English battle armor, then underscores a mundane gesture like striking a table just in case the inappropriately
