Latest Review: "The Piketty Problem" by Garth Hallberg

OMG! Can you imagine how excited I was to read your review? Cyprus is the place where I've been living for the last 20 years!
This is awesome news! I'm sure the book will have a whole extra dimension for you. I hope you really enjoy it. Schrader uses contemporary names for the locations, too - so you should be able to follow along exactly where things take place!
I enjoyed reading your review a lot. The historical tales of the crusaders are something that piques my interest and I am glad this book explores. Definitely I will give it a go.
Thank you very much for your kind comment. Do let me know if you finish it :)

The Last Crusader Kingdom sounds like an excellent and intriguing historical fiction novel. I really like the fact that the author has a Ph.D and has written several books.

Thanks for the impressive review!
