I love Rene Auberjonois, and his narration was the reason I chose this book.Ĭould you see Blood Royal being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? I honestly don't know who any one was at this point. Which character – as performed by Rene Auberjonois – was your favorite?

I think a stronger narrative would have been enjoyable, sticking to some aspect of dissecting the forensic story. It might even have been a great series about the rise and fall of this branch of the french royal family. This non-fiction really wanted to be a novel. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? I was following happily and then so many characters where introduced and the plot diverted so many times that I was just lost. The story started and ended really well, it was the 6 hours in between that really lost me. What did you like best about Blood Royal? What did you like least? It is not but René is an American with notions of French so many pronunciations of names and place names are pretty good so B+! René Auberjonois, of Deep Space Nine fame, with that French sounding name gives you momentary hope, that it will be perfection. For me the story matters more than the reader but for this French medieval detective story a person with command of French is appreciated.

This story is made for the big screen, certainly an epic tale worthy of your time. At one time a woman brings in a grievously wounded man and rather than tending to the man's wounds, she rushes out to find a priest so his immortal soul can be saved. The story is fascinating, wonderfully alien in people's daily dealings of the occult and the holy. In this History the victim AND the villains are fantastically callous and despicable individuals, only their remoteness in time makes them safe for reading. An epic tale and a B+ for René AuberjonoisĪ good police thriller is made by the quality of the the villain.
