Nice historical graphic novel that will teach you more about the Templars than you probably already knew. May not be 100% historically accurate but feels closer than most conspiracy theories. Not the best drawn graphic novel that I've ever read, but still nice and overall well worth the read. ( )

Exciting adventure/treasure-hunt story against a historical backdrop and loosely incorporating true life events. Some people have said this book was too long, but I'm not sure why. I always feel graphic novels tend to be too short :) ( )

This was amazing! This was one of the longer graphic novels that I've read recently, which was wonderful. The story was very good and easy to follow along. I would absolutely recommend this, especially if you like history. ( )

A big, fun, expertly done tale of action and adventure. It doesn't reinvent the medium of comics—while the art is great, the panel layout is sometimes clums—but it's efficient and effective. Good old-fashioned entertainment. ( )

The castles, chapels and churches of the 1300s are admirably accurately drawn in this historical comic that remains humorous in tone though it depicts a sordid conspiracy and the greed and practicalities of the King of France against the Knights Templar. ( )
