5.0 out of 5 stars
A books that you just can't put down.
Judith Tarr's the Golden Horn is one of those truly rare books that doesn't stick to the old helpless woman and big brave knight story line. What I loved best about the book was how she made Thea more in the image of the big brave knight and Alf more in the image of the helpless woman. I found myself for the first time in years not being able to guess (at all!)...

Judith Tarr's the Golden Horn is one of those truly rare books that doesn't stick to the old helpless woman and big brave knight story line. What I loved best about the book was how she made Thea more in the image of the big brave knight and Alf more in the image of the helpless woman. I found myself for the first time in years not being able to guess (at all!) what was going to happen next in a book. Tarr's characters are ones that stay with and make you reread this book over and over again.

This review is from: The Golden Horn (The Hound and the Falcon Trilogy) (Paperback)
The second book in a trilogy, The Golden Horn finds Alfred, elf and priest, in Byzantium during the Fourth Crusade and the sack of Constantinople, c. 1203 [the "Golden Horn" of the title -- named for its shape and its famed wealth]. Alfred begins to reconcile body and mind, and continues to grow as a person, while questioning his own and his Kinsmen's part in his religion. After reading The Isle of Glass, I found the Golden Horn something of a disappointment. Everything about it seemed rushed, unfinished. The writing is only a little better than average for a fantasy novel, and I craved more of the rich characterization and dialogue that I found in the first book. Still, entertaining enough.
