The story of Agnes Souarcy is now in place, and unfortunately for her, the problems are simply accumulate. Victim of the heinous inquisitor Nicolas Florin, betrayals of her family, she is trapped in the house of inquisition at the beginning of this volume. I found this tome more exciting than the first; the pace intensifies, and the adventures are many. The tracks launched in the first volume continues to become more complex, sometimes at the risk, trampling a bit, especially at the end. As for style, I find that the author is pretty amazing on this point: it is able to write accurately and documented some pages, but to completely release his style, as to be more messy (forcing sometimes tedious replay certain phrases to understand who does what) and accumulate nominal sentences, very short, then reducing the ideas to clichés (especially when it relates the thoughts of the characters and their reactions, that is expected too easily) which wastes a little fun. Nevertheless, I loved this book where I learned much about the Middle Ages, and I will read later with pleasure.
