The Sword and the Dagger by Robert Cochran
3.0
Thank you to Netgalley and Tor Teen for the chance to read this book, The Sword and the Dagger by Robert Cochran! My thoughts are my own, as always.
I give this book 3 stars.
Synopsis :
When empires clash,
a Princess, a Knight, and an Assassin
embark on the quest of a lifetime
During the time of the Crusades, an unlikely trio—a Christian princess, her affianced prince, and a Muslim assassin—embarks on a quest to the court of the most fearsome warrior the world has ever known, Genghis Khan.
A rousing tale of adventure and romance about three young people who must grapple with fundamental issues of loyalty, friendship, faith, honor, and courage against the backdrop of conflicts that still resonate today.
...
I downloaded this book for our trip because it looked just a perfect historical fiction read for a long bus ride or a plane. While I did enjoy this story, it was fairly unremarkable and moderately slow plotted. I found the character arc of the prince to be difficult and unreliable, and I didn't like him. The other characters were generally unremarkable and clichéd as well.
