Are Kris Kennedy's historically accurate? If I read a medieval book I expect historical research to be have be done which is why I am leery to read anything that newly published and then there is the dialogue that was used then.
Loretta Chase actually updated her novels from Middle English to modern translation after receiving complaints luckily the ebooks I have are before the edit. Seriously why do that? Are the young people of today that uneducated they can't read and figure out the translation?!?  |
Hi Blossom,
I feel like Kris Kennedy's books are historically accurate, when I read them I felt really immersed in the time period and the story. However, I'm not a scholar and my knowledge is somewhat limited, so YMMV. If it helps, I've read lots of Roberta Gellis and she is my gold standard for medieval romance. I didn't mention her, but I imagine you've read her, too? VERY historically accurate IMO.
Do you mean
For My Lady's Heart and
Shadowheart by Laura Kinsale? She wrote these books using Middle English and they are wonderful. I understand the audiobooks with Nicholas Boulton are getting huge raves, though I think I remember you don't like male narrators. Boo that she rewrote them in modern english!!!
If you have
Bride of the Lion I highly recommend it, you won't be sorry, though if you're like me a paper book is now a huge PITA. Worth it, though! In fact, you're motivating me to pull out my copy for a re-read!
