Entirely unique. The Last Troubadour is still true to the spirit of Armstrong’s previous novel, combining equal parts adventure, comedy, satire and suspense. But unlike his last novel (The Game), the author journeys back to the 13th century, to the founding of the Inquisition. Instead of dark and depressing, he creates an upbeat adventure with a touch of the mystic. Here, all the characters are trump cards from the Tarot deck, and the story is the journey of the Fool. What fun this is. I couldn’t put this down, especially knowing that this was all somewhat based on real history. All the characters are such fun, from Death and his scythe to the Fool and his little dog, yet they’re still deep enough to seem real in the moment. Ramon, the Fool returns to his home city, a place of tragedy, on a mission to rescue the Priestess of the Cathars from the fires of the Holy Inquisition. She holds the secret to a Holy Relic sought after by everyone in Europe of the time. It could start a war, or stop one. Everyone in this novel has a dark secret, which the author reveals with a real sense of mischief. Knights Templar, Cathar heretics, lecherous archbishops, pagans with hand-painted tarot cards –every chapter has a nice surprise. This is a must read for anyone who enjoys adventure, suspense, humor, historical novels or tarot cards.
