Virginia Henley is the master of Medieval Romance and The Falcon and the Flower is one of the best ever written. Vivid and dynamic, it follows the story of a young woman and her chosen knight through the turmoil of King John's reign. This is what got me hooked on Medieval Romance from the start and this book should be in the library of every Medieval Romance lover. I can't recommend this novel highly enough. All Hail, Queen Virginia!
The Flower: ok so I can understand how she became a spoiled little annoying girl but after a while you just got to ask: is she ever going to learn and try something else? She's a stupid, spoiled, and stubborn girl. That's all. Over and over it's the same thing, she doesn't try anything new, even for better or worse when he does something so horrible to her (read further).The Falcon: Hate him. As other reviewers have put: he hits her, and once at the very end when you're just, "oh come on! haven't you changed YET?!" He's also a pig, who thinks one thing so sadly and understandably that you think that he's finally caught on and might change, but nope! HUGE SPOILER ALERT!!!!: he rapes her. And the FIRST time "I guess" I can understand his reasoning but then he does it again... and again, and again. And this isn't like other books (which are still sick) where the woman says no and tries to resist, but his skills and fire sooo ignite her to hott hott sex. NOPE!! She pleads and cries for him to stop, when she realizes he won't she freezes and makes her mind go away, somewhere far away, other than there. It's nothing more than rape! Several rapes! Each time after he's either angry (at her!) or feels bad, and when he feels bad that quickly turns to lust 10 pages later when he continues his raping or fondling of her as she pleads for him to stop.Over all, this is a looong book where we get a lot of pages where they fight, yell, and say mean things, plus him and his lust, but then BAM!! LUST!!! and after one night over sex (of 3) she's telling him she loves him. Nowhere before that is there any hidden message that she's holding back and does like him. I mean, she stares at his chest a few times, but ladies... that's the only connection I can find before she's sprouting I love you to him... and after he hits and rapes her!! Classic Stockholm syndrome!!!I wish I can get my $8 back and have the publishers pay me for my wasted time.Both characters disgust me. THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE!! I wish other reviews had warned me of the rapes and not just the hitting (which I can explain away by the time period) so I hope others find this review helpful.
The first in Henley's Plantagenet trilogy (The Falcon and the Flower, The Dragon and the Jewel and The Marriage Prize), this story is set in the late 12th century, beginning in 1199 just as King Richard I ("the Lion Heart") is slain in France and his youngest brother, John (the runt of the Plantagenet litter), takes the throne of England.Jasmine, the sheltered love child of King Richard's half brother, the Earl of Salisbury, has been raised by her maternal grandmother who is a "white witch" and hates men. A delicate flower physically, Jasmine has vowed that no man will ever rule her heart. One day she sees the face of a dark knight in her crystal ball, and later, encountering him at Stonehenge, thinks he's the Devil. When her father betroths her to the same knight, Falcon de Burgh, she hopes to resist the marriage. In a bargain with Falcon, she is allowed to be lady in waiting to the young Queen Isabella. It is there that King John takes a fancy to Jasmine, coveting her virginity for himself. His plan is to wed her to one of his noblemen and then take his pleasure as he does with the other ladies at court. But Falcon will come to her rescue and force her to wed for her protection.This story kept me reading late into the night. There are many twists and turns and both Jasmine and Falcon treat each other badly as they resist the call of true love. As always, Henley masterfully weaves in history as she serves up a lusty tale with wonderful characters. I recommend it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was by comparison to others of hers I rate higher.If you like to read books in date order, here is the Plantagenet trilogy with the other books Henley wrote about the same time in chronological order:* The Falcon and the Flower (1989) - late 12th century/early 13th* The Dragon and the Jewel (1991) - 13th century* The Marriage Prize (2000) - 13th century* The Raven and the Rose (1987) - 15th century* The Hawk and the Dove (1988) - 16th century* The Pirate and the Pagan (1990) - 17th centuryAnd, if you want Scotland's side of the story, you can read her wonderful Kennedy Clan books, both set in the 16th century after the events of The Raven and The Rose:* Tempted (1992)* The Border Hostage (2001)
