Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman
4.0
A wonderful medieval horror. A former knight and a young girl team up to travel across the plague-riddled lands in a holy quest.
I loved this! As much as I loved medieval things as a child, I really haven’t read many books that are set during that time period. And honestly, this had everything I wanted from that setting. The somewhat primitive living conditions, knights in armor, honor and kings, religious fervor to explain anything they may not understand, and violence. Plus, some supernatural beings and monsters tossed in just for fun.
This book wasn’t big on “scares” but the idea of knights and priests fighting devils, and the bond between the girl and the knight, made this book an excellent medieval horror.
