The Montmaray Journals 3: FitzOsbornes At War

Suspenseful and heartbreaking, The FitzOsbornes at War will leave you breathless … I cannot recommend this series highly enough … Cooper writes beautifully, drawing history in detailed brushstrokes while always moving the action and characters forward. And while I can vouch for the fact that the trilogy can be read out of order with complete satisfaction, if you can start at the beginning, I have no doubt it will be even more powerful.

This is a cathartic conclusion to a brilliant trilogy; a tale of endurance and hope and bitter change. I dearly loved The FitzOsbornes at War, and will cherish it as one of my favorite reads in the years to come. One of my top 10 favorite novels of 2012, and a perfect, if heartbreaking, end to a truly amazing trilogy. And I end this review with an earnest plea: if you haven’t read the Montmaray books yet, please, please give Princess Sophia and her family a try. You will not regret the journey – though you may like me lose a piece of your heart to the FitzOsbornes along the way.

This is historical fiction at its most engaging. Sophie’s narrative communicates vividly both what is happening and how she feelds throughout six dangerous, difficult years . . . The trilogy is highly recommended with this volume arguably the best of the three.

Highly recommended … This is a wonderful but often heart wrenching conclusion to a fascinating series ... Cooper's superb writing effortlessly gained my attention and held it to the end as I avidly read on to see what would happen to Sophie, Veronica, Henry, Simon and Toby.
