Luisa Knight's Reviews > The Lantern Bearers

Definitely a more contemplative story line and more multi-dimensional depth with the character development than the first two books had. A good read but I enjoyed the first two books in the series more.

Cleanliness: the use of "b*st*rd" for an illegitimate child. "D*mn" and "h*ll" used a handful of times. The Roman gods are referenced and prayed to a few times. Contains multiple battle sequences and they are more detailed than the previous books. A young man is mentioned as having no clothes. A man comes home to find his wife had a child - he asks if it is his; it is. Alludes to soldiers having a night with women, and soldiers thinking one man is hiding a woman in his tent - he is not. Their is some drinking and a scene of drunkenness. The main character struggles with hatred and bitterness for most of the book.

*Note: I listened to the audio version of this book so this Cleanliness Report may not be as thoroughly detailed as other reports are. Also, some inappropriate content may have been forgotten/missed and not included in the report.

**Like my reviews? Then you should follow me! Because I have hundreds more just like this one. With each review, I provide a Cleanliness Report, mentioning any objectionable content I come across so that parents and/or conscientious readers (like me) can determine beforehand whether they want to read a book or not. Content surprises are super annoying, especially when you’re 100+ pages in, so here’s my attempt to help you avoid that!
