A review by tomasthanes
Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson
5.0
This story is one of the best classic fantasy stories that I've read in a long time. It also managed to mix some contemporary science with fantasy, no small feat, as well as the struggle of medieval faith and modern atheism without being heavy handed.
I also like the fact that it was based on a real historical character, Ogier le Danois (Holger Danske), especially significant since Poul Anderson is, himself, Danish.
One distracting thing about this eBook was the typos that started about 65% into the book. They increased in frequency until there were several typos on a page at times; it's as if the further the editor got into the book, the less they cared. I'm told that the fixing of typos in books is the responsibility of publishers, not authors, and it would be nice for future readers if Open Road Integrated Media fixed them (since I'll report them to Amazon).
