This book has an interesting premise and a different take on the whole grail story. However, it is a real slog. Several times I considered abandoning it, but I did get through it. I appreciate the jumping back and forth in time motif, but the addition of a very convoluted story line kept me confused. The periodic use of untranslated French was also an issue. There was some attempt to give a rough translation, but it could have been handled better. I am not very familiar with the history of that time and place, and I suppose I learned something, but having to constantly process the new information and keep track of the confusing plot elements made for a slow read.
