Crouchback: Le Retour du Croisé (Les Enquêtes de Rhys le Gallois t. 1)

The story feels grounded yet suspenseful, making me wonder how much research went into blending fact with fiction.

I found myself wanting more tension during the slower parts—was that a deliberate choice to build atmosphere or just pacing?

The detailed descriptions and atmosphere really brought the era to life, making me curious about the author's research process.
