Review title: A Templar's passions for God, Jerusalem, and a ruling queen.
Product review: Sibylla of Jerusalem was never worth the passion that the redeemed brigand called Saint by his fellow Templars had for her. As he knew, he should have reserved that for his God--and, to some extent, his order.In this book, which is as fierce in thought as it is in action, Hollander creates an order of Templars that lives up--or down--to the many books written about them. She has superb material to work with--the elegances and barbarities of the Kingdom of Outremer, the civilization and savagery of Saladin's power, and the paradox of the Leper King. The Templar mass at which the Leper King is received is possibly one of the most shattering scenes in the book--and is promptly opposed by a scene in which a Templar knight becomes the lover of a Saracen.JERUSALEM, like the city itself, is a paradox of blood and faith. If the ending trails off somewhat, it is only because the characters who are lost leave it desolate--and it is used to that.
