Synopsis:
|
3 short stories.
One about how Cadfael chose to become a monk and then 2 that were
referenced in other books but never fleshed out.

My
Thoughts:
|
Apparently, the previous book, Brother
Cadfael's Penance, was the “real” final book in the
series. I kind of wish I had known that going in to this book so I
wasn't constantly looking for a series wrapup.
This was just a series of short stories about Cadfael. Beyond the
first one where we find out just how Cadfael becomes a monk, the
other stories felt extremely familiar, almost like re-treads. Nothing
bad but nothing really good either. Decent reads is what I'd qualify
it as.
I felt very “whatever” at the end of the book and am glad I'm
done with Cadfael. Between this and the bomb that P.D. James turned
out to be, I think I'm done with any sort of “mystery” genre or
sub-genre for quite some time.
★★★☆☆
