Summary

Dans ce septième et dernier volume des Rois maudits, c'est le règne de Jean II qui est retracé. L'Histoire a surnommé ce roi Jean le Bon, mais ce monarque fut, en fait, aussi vaniteux et cruel qu'indécis et incapable. La France est, à l'époque, en crise : les clans et les factions se disputent le pays, l'Angleterre revendique le royaume, les impôts sont écrasants, la peste fait des ravages et le roi accumule les erreurs. On suit, à travers le récit d'un haut personnage de l'époque, l'évolution du règne. Une épopée malheureuse et sanglante qui va mener le roi au désastre de la bataille de Poitiers où il sera fait prisonnier des Anglais.

À travers le regard d'un personnage réel, cet ultime opus est une conclusion sans fausse note à la saga qui a inspiré Le Trône de fer de G.R.R Martin. Elle permet à la fois de prolonger l'immersion historique initiée par les précédents volumes, tout en apportant un nouvel élan romanesque.

My least favourite out of the 7 of the series

I really liked this series and thought this seventh book would add something but I felt Maurice Druon could have stopped at the 6th. The ending was better and the characters we learnt to love or hated were not the same in this one. Don't want to spoil anything but I was disappointed in this book and almost gave up listening before the end.
