Четверо молодых мужчин

Blood, guts, broken bones, naked boobs, large-scale battles, the clatter of armor and the rattle of weapons, noble and not so ladies, conspiracies and betrayal - the dirty Middle Ages. Everything we love!

In the center of the story are four young men who, while still children, were given to serve the Order. ⠀

In the Order, they were brought up, trained and at the time of graduation had to pass the test by duel. ⠀

The survivors will become templars - the mainstay of the state, the dead - food for worms.

The author has a great storytelling style and speech. ⠀

Battles, the surrounding world, architecture, people and monsters are described in such a way that the imagination can easily recreate pictures. ⠀

I liked the elaborate characters of the characters. From the most important to the common prostitute in a brothel, they all have their own distinctive looks and personality.

Everything would be fine, but this book shocked me. I have never read such cruelty. ⠀

After reading a couple of chapters, I thought: "Well, no. Well, what is this? Too hard. I can't read this. This is men's literature." ⠀

Fifth chapter: "It's delicious. Not that it tastes good, but it's actually delicious." ⠀

In chapter 12, I screamed like Frodo when Gandalf fell into the abyss. ⠀

Buddy Tuorem, how is that? How am I without you? Don't even go to a brothel? Split a couple of skulls? And we won't pinch the medic on the buttock. And I felt so sad. ⠀

Although the author does not spare his characters, I hope Tuorem's adventures will not end so easily.

The only thing that upset me was that I lacked the background of this world. ⠀

There was a feeling that I was not reading the cycle from the first book. As if I missed something.

I liked this story and this world that is not quite clear to me yet. ⠀

I've been looking for something like this for a long time. ⠀

Do I recommend this book? Yes. ⠀

Will I wait for a sequel? Yes. ⠀

Would I buy this book in paper format for my library? Definitely yes.
