After finishing Spymaster, I had a plan to go back to my nonfiction backlog. But I couldn’t stop reading. So I went back to the first book in the series, The Lions of Lucerne.

The book was fine, if not a bit overdone. Thor’s novice status in this, his first book, was evident. He told a good story but, unlike the later books in the series, this one had some pretty unrealistic elements. It required a bigger dose of suspension of disbelief than Spymaster.

Either way, I finished the book in two days and enjoyed every minute.

Would I recommend: YES
