I'm assuming that the writer also did the work and has a third person edition on sale. <br /><br />Balanced review, I think.J.L.

Now I'm more curious to get to this one!<br /><br />I have always had a soft spot for the Arthurian legends, although I think they should have more female knights. <br /><br />FWIW I don't see why armor sex would necessarily be painful. I guess it depends who's wearing the armor and what pieces of armor they are wearing. But maybe it's obvious to everybody else & I'm just being shockingly naieve. I'd just think it would be unnecessarily heavy and hot. For the armor-wearer. *blushes* I'm shutting up now.Callie Leuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535505792102190920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-51575954424738210972012-06-21T20:17:01.478-06:002012-06-21T20:17:01.478-06:00You write the most interesting reviews.
