Historically Obsessed is Obsessed with I Serve

The book blog Historically Obsessed writes a glowing review of I Serve. The reviewer says:

"This was a unique read; it covered so many events of the Hundred Years War that I cannot even begin to get into the details here. It had it all from disguises, unsatisfied love, fights for honor, and most compelling of all the torments of a man's conscience.... Romantic YES, and YES an interesting tale of a knight who is tormented by the gritty details of war. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something a bit off the mainstream."

Favorable Review from Rundpinne

I Serve continues its blog tour with a favorable review from Rundpinne. The reviewer writes:

"Lortz writes a superb novel with vivid imagery, wonderful characters, as well as descriptive and distinct time period prose. The inner struggle of the characters, especially that of John Potenhale, are masterfully written and one can understand and sympathise with his inner turmoil. I highly recommend I Serve to anyone who enjoys historical fiction or who is new to historical fiction."

Historical Tapestry, one of the best historical fiction book blogs on the web, gives a great review to I Serve. The reviewer writes:

"This is a story about following a code of honour, the code of chivalry, about being virtuous, being true to God and to their Lady. Rosanne E. Lortz wrote an intelligent and engaging tale based on real characters and events that made this reading journey one of the most exhilarating of this year. Historical fiction doesn't get much better than this. Grade: 5/5"
