Review: There was a lot of political correctness here

that probably did not happen back in the 13th century.  Racial intermarriages?  Lesbians accepted as nothing out of the ordinary?  Not in 1282.  I agree with Kebtucky that there were plenty of errors, both grammatical and typographical.  Since this book was originally released in 1997, I would expect those to have been fixed.  However, this story did have one thing many of the others of this genre don't have-a plot.  I actually wanted to find out what happened. There were a few situations where coincidence moved the plot along, and the casual mention of one main characters having syphilis was a little off-putting. This was not a bad read, if you get past the aforementioned errors, (my favorite being "it's a mute point" instead of moot) it is a good story.
