Not recommended.

I tried book 1 in the Grail Quest series hoping it would be something like Ken Follett’s Kingsbridge series, which I loved.

Follett’s focus was evolving technologies (e.g. architecture) and how it effected history. Most edifying.

The Archer’s Tale (AKA Harlequin ) is mainly sex and violence in the middle of the fourteenth century. The start of the Hundred Years War.  I didn’t learn much.

I won’t continue.
