About the author
Jan Guillou
91听books673听followersJan Oscar Sverre Lucien Henri Guillou (born 17 January 1944) is a Swedish author and journalist. Among his books are a series of spy fiction novels about a spy named Carl Hamilton, and a trilogy of historical fiction novels about a Knight Templar, Arn Magnusson. He is the owner of one of the largest publishing companies in Sweden, Piratf枚rlaget, together with Liza Marklund and his common-law wife, publisher Ann-Marie Skarp.
Guillou's fame in Sweden was established during his time as an investigative journalist. In 1973, he and co-reporter Peter Bratt exposed a secret intelligence organization in Sweden, Informationsbyr氓n (IB). He is still active within journalism as a column writer for the Swedish evening tabloid Aftonbladet.
In October 2009, it was revealed that Guillou had been recruited by the KGB in 1967. The exposure of his activities came after the tabloid Expressen requested the release of documents from the Swedish Security Service (S盲po) and published information from the S盲po files along with information gained through interviews with former KGB Colonel Oleg Gordievsky about Guillou's case. The records showed that Guillou's involvement with the KGB continued for five years, until 1972.

Saladin & Arn & Richard the Heartless
馃洝锔� 鈿旓笍 The storytelling is extraordinary 馃洝锔忊殧锔�
The hero is Saladin. A great man. His fellow hero is Arn Magnusson. A great fictional man.
There are many villains in this piece, most of them so-called Christians, but the ultimate villain, in this retelling and in history itself, is Richard the Heartless.
Yes, Richard the Heartless, Butcher of Acre. No lion heart. On the contrary, a slaughterer of the helpless.
A powerful book, a resonant narration.
It鈥檚 because of this series, and the series by Scott Rezer, that I鈥檓 now reading the Koran, waiting for The Ottoman Centuries to arrive in the mail, and seeking out a good biography of Saladin. And I鈥檝e become more aware that God, however you may conceive God to be (or reject such a belief), a true God must be a God of mercy, or God is no God at all.
This book, #2 in the series, is a tour de force of beauty, truth, friendship and inclusivity. Exactly my heart too.

Incredible reading. Book 2 of 3 books. Arn de Gotha, excommunicated from the church. He becomes a knight templar. Now all his battle training is used: swords, horsemanship, natural thinking courage - but mostly his faith and ability to strategise.
This book shows Arn in the Holy Land, for the 20 years old his penance. He becomes Master of the great Gaza stronghold. He meets and becomes with Saladin. Arn who already speaks Latin and French; masters Arabic.
Unputdownable. The prose is so good I easily pictured and felt every action.

Book # 2 is a better read. The story goes back an forth between Arn an Cecilia the two main characters. There is alot more action cause Arn is fighting a war with a man named Saladin who he becomes friends with. The story shows you the stupidity of the leaders that Arn has to deal with. All the power an lies the assassination, Arn is the only one that walks away.
Now Cecilia is locked up with a mean ass Nunn who will do anything to torture her. Who locks her in a hole an is whipped, cause of the the clan she comes from. She makes a few friends alone the way an they begin to keep each other safe. I wouldn't mind putting this Nunn in hole myself. Now Arn an Cecilia are free after 20 years. Will they find each other???? Very good read

"The Templar Knight" continues the story of Arn Magnusson, now a Knight Templar serving near Jerusalem; he is the Master of the garrison of Gaza. He is aided by his sub-ordinate and Sergeant, Armond De Gasgogne who is close to becoming a Knight himself.
The book alternates between the perspective of Arn and his bethrohed, Cecelia Algotsdotter who is confined in Varnhem, a convent in Sweden. Cecelia suffers harsh treatment at the hands of the Abbess Rikisa, who is loyal to the Sverker clan. A clan which is at war with the Erik and Folkung clans that Cecilia Algotsdotter is on the side of.
This novel starts off much more quickly than the first, and I found Arn's storyline in the Middle East thoroughly engaging from beginning to end. I initially felt as though Cecilia's chapters dragged on a little too long at times and served as nothing but an information dump but soon her story unraveled and I was able to appreciate her Point of view chapters.
To me, what really makes the novel special is the 鈥渂romance鈥� between Arn and Saladin who are technically enemies. These two matched each other in wits, spiritual knowledge and battlefield tactics. all that divided them was the fact that Saladin was a Muslim who believed in the Holy Koran and Arn Magnusson was a Christian who swore an oath to die for The True Faith in his eyes.
I also really enjoyed reading about the inner-workings of the power structure in Jerusalem. More specifically the struggle for control over the Christian fortresses between the secular and religious order rulers. The secular rulers from Europe brought their lavish, gaudy and immoral lifestyle to Jerusalem, the holiest city in the world. This created tension between them and the strict, disciplined Holy Orders who ruled the fortresses in the Middle East, particularly The Hospiteller knights and Knights Templar.
The pace of the novel is just right and sets up the next and final book of the trilogy perfectly. I gave 鈥淭he Road to Jerusalem鈥� 4 stars but really was more 3.5 stars. This book, though, deserves a true 4 star rating

Primo appassionante romanzo di una saga ambientata storicamente al tempo delle crociate nelle fredde terre della Scandinavia: inappuntabile la precisione storica, ben dosati i colpi di scena che mantengono alta tensione narrativa: Arn Folkesson, la cui vita, fin da bambino 茅 stata promessa a Dio dai suoi genitori, viene mandato in Terra Santa a combattere i Mori come cavaliere templare, lasciando in patria la ragazza che ama...

A big improvement from the first novel, for one we actually spend most of our time in the middle east! Arn's character has developed from the naive boy to a worldly battle hardened man from the get go, and I'm glad for this.
I've read differing points of view about some of the events that took place in this novel, but with something that happened so long ago, that's to be expected. The author definitely did his research, and I particularly liked the way he wrote Saladin(the most interesting historical figure from the crusades for me).
Cecilia's parts were a bit dry but did paint a vivid picture of cloistered life. I did find myself in a rush to finish her parts to get back to Arn's story. It's not that these parts weren't interesting; it's just that I find the fall of Jerusalem and the Third Crusade a good deal more interesting than life in a monastery.
The conversations Arn had with Saladin and other historical figures of the time made the novel, and the battle scenes were well written and well depicted. I do wish more time was spent on the Third Crusade, because I think the drama that caused that crusade to fail was interesting in it's own way.

Za po膷etak ne treba vam mjesec dana da pro膷itate ovu knjigu. I nisam ju 膷itala mjesec dana. Na kraju sam ju pro膷itala za par dana ali sam se borila sa generalnom odbojno拧膰u prema 膷itanju (拧to mi se u zadnje vrijeme 膷e拧膰e doga膽a). Ali to je ve膰 moj problem. U stvari mislim da mi je ova knjiga pomogla da se vratim nazad 膷itanju.
Nezgodno je biti srednja knjiga u trilogiji, niti zapo膷inje拧 pri膷u niti ju zavr拧ava拧 a mora拧 funkcionirati i kao zasebna cjelina (bar ja mislim da bi tako trilogije trebale funkcionirati). Ova knjiga uspje拧no ispunjava tu ulogu.
Pratimo sve glavne junake dok se nose s posljedicama svojih odluka i akcija. Osobno su mi posebno bila zanimljiva dva aspekta. Jedan je pokoravanje zapovjedima u vojnoj hjerarhiji. 膶ak i ako vam je apsoluto jasno da su odluke pogre拧ne, donesene na temelju proizvoljnih (emotivnih?) a ne racionalnih 膷injenica i da 膰e rezultirati velikim gubitcima 啪ivota. 艩to je to u ljudskom bi膰u 拧to ga tjera da ipak izvr拧ava takve zapovjedi? I sjetim se izgovora nacista "Samo smo slijedili zapovjedi". Mislim da je apsolutno jasno za拧to u vojsku nova膷i拧 mlade ljude - one koji puno lak拧e slijede zapovjedi bez propitkivanja. S druge strane koliko mo啪e拧 propitkivati zapovjedi u ratnom okru啪enju? Ne znam, mislim da nema jednostavnog odgovora.
Drugi apsekt je percepcija Saladina kao plemenitog "nevjernika" u kri啪arski ratovima. I 膷injenica da je on vjerojatno bio predlo啪ak za stvaranje kulture plemenitih vitezova koji dolaze nakon njega u Europskoj literaturi i mitologiji (Kralj Artur, Lancelot, Percival, Roland, etc.). Kao i utjecaj povratnika iz Prekomorja nakon gubitka teritorija na arapskom poluotoku sa znanjima i vje拧tinama ste膷enima u razmjeni sa Saracenima na postanak renesanse u Europi.
I za kraj, na啪alost zbog trenutnih doga膽anja u tom dijelu svijeta ova knjiga se 膷ini jo拧 啪ivotnijom (da ni nakon 800 godina nismo uspjeli na膰i zajedni膷ki jezik).

This is a fascinating historical and fictional work! I really enjoyed learning about life in the 1100's in the convents and monesteries of Norway, Sweden, and Finland and in particular with this book, the life of the crusaders in the holy land. The way the author weaves his story of the main character Arn around all of the pivotal events and politics of that day both in Jerusalem and Europe is amazing. He makes the characters so compelling that as you are reading about Arn's life in the holy land you don't want him to stop to skip to Arn's love, Cecilia's world in the convent in western Gotaland. But it only to takes a few pages of convent life to get you hooked on Cecilia's story and soon he switches back to Arn and so on...
I felt very frustrated at the injustices that all women of this era faced, from the noble women on down the class system. I've even wondered if the slave women didn't have a better life in some ways. The first book in the series discusses more of the life of the slaves.
With any of the characters that had any good in them, I was impressed with their devotion to prayer. It did rule all of the christians lives in that era, but some were devoted because they chose to, wanted to and their faith grew stronger through each trial.
I'm looking forward to the third book in this trilogy.

Cruzadas: Lucha en Tierra Santa y la pol铆tica de la religi贸n.
En esta segunda parte se intercalan las historias de Arn en Tierra Santa y la estad铆a de Cecilia en el monasterio, lo cual hace que la historia se dinamice y se entiendan los contextos pol铆ticos en ambas partes. Nos cuenta la historia de la p茅rdida de Tierra Santa en manos de Saladino, ensalzando valores, y criticando el pobre manejo pol铆tico de los cristianos en Jerusalem, nos ermite conocer a Balduino, los maestres del temple y otros actores pol铆ticos. Tambi茅n en la din谩mica del poder en el norte, nos cuenta c贸mo se van sucediendo los reyes de las casas Sverker y Erik. Es entretenido y me gustan las cr铆ticas y dilemas que plantea.

As I said, I didn't like the way our hero ended up in Jerusalem, but once our lad arrived there, I didn't have to keep complaining. Of course, when we get there, we make a leap in time and meet him at a stage where he is a great warrior who is respected and appreciated by friends and enemies - including Saladin himself - and is at the center of all the dramatic developments that eventually led to the loss of Jerusalem. I would like the writer to show us his evolution from a simple soldier to such an important factor in the evolution of war, but perhaps this is not as important as the fact that he is presented as one of the few crusaders who had eliminated prejudice about Muslims, were trying to learn about their culture, and they had the idea that they should try their best to keep the peace. Of course in this tough time when religious fanaticism was dominating and people were seeing the world in an almost apocalyptic way, any rationalization effort fell in deaf ears and culminating in the fateful decisions that led to the almost total defeat of the crusaders. The author describes all of these events and our hero's involvement in them in a very nice way, though he does not avoid exaggerations, puts us at the heart of developments and the major battles and conveys the climate of the era in a very interesting way, trying to make us understand what was going through the thoughts of the people of the time.
However, these are not the only things that concern us in this book, back in Sweden, the beloved of our hero has many difficult years as the walls of the monastery cannot protect her from the political processes of her country, and members of the other side manage to make her life even more difficult, but fortunately, she still finds the friendship that can help her endure, and this is what our author describes in some of the most moving pages of the book. These political processes eventually come out in her favor as her own side gains power and imposes peace and this somewhat eases her burden but with the heavy punishment remaining in place it cannot be satisfied, despite her successes in various areas. More emotional this part, with the author a little too exaggerated, creating characters that look like a caricature of evil and that in many places spoiled the good impression. But more generally, the author manages to put us in this case in a nice way in the climate of the time and region, continuing the very good work he did in the first book.
More generally, it is a book that continues the narration of the story in a very interesting way, with the author following the known historical events and putting our hero in them in an imaginative way that does not alter the story to such an extent and this appreciated it a lot.

However, these are not the only things that concern us in this book, back in Sweden, the beloved of our hero has many difficult years as the walls of the monastery cannot protect her from the political processes of her country, and members of the other side manage to make her life even more difficult, but fortunately, she still finds the friendship that can help her endure, and this is what our author describes in some of the most moving pages of the book. These political processes eventually come out in her favor as her own side gains power and imposes peace and this somewhat eases her burden but with the heavy punishment remaining in place it cannot be satisfied, despite her successes in various areas. More emotional this part, with the author a little too exaggerated, creating characters that look like a caricature of evil and that in many places spoiled the good impression. But more generally, the author manages to put us in this case in a nice way in the climate of the time and region, continuing the very good work he did in the first book.
More generally, it is a book that continues the narration of the story in a very interesting way, with the author following the known historical events and putting our hero in them in an imaginative way that does not alter the story to such an extent and this appreciated it a lot. But, on the other hand, I didn't feel that this second part was going one step further, escalating the interest, creating, on one hand, an epic feeling and on the other the feeling of a loved one's absence and of long wait, but I imagine that they can be attributed to the author's choice of a quieter and simpler narrative than the most common historical novels. The certain is that this is another very good book that will satisfy those who are looking for historical novels with substance.

E' sempre piacevole tuffarsi in avventure medievali dove l'azione, le battaglie, la violenza gratuita e il disprezzo per la vita umana sono un tratto distintivo, almeno nelle storie e leggende che si raccontano, di questa epoca; un po' mi dispiace non averne fatto parte...sarei voluto nascere anche vichingo, per貌 niente da fare, ma non perdo la speranza.
Comunque mi aspettavo un po' di azione in pi霉!!! Il testo l'ho trovato piacevole perch茅 sembrava potesse esplodere in qualche battaglia epica, ma niente.
Anno 1150, protagonista Arn, figlio del nobile Magnus Folkesson. Prima che nascesse sua madre Sigrid
ha una visione: vede un giovane cavaliere con le insegne da crociato mentre la voce dello Spirito Santo le consiglia di donare ai monaci cistercensi la sua tenuta di Varnhem: questo atto sar脿 visto poi come il segno della provvidenza che render脿 Arn colui che deve essere.
In seguito ad una caduta di Arn, Magnuss e Sigrid promettono all'altissimo di donarglielo se lo avesse salvato: qualche tempo dopo Arn si ritrova tra i monaci cistercensi, nel monastero che hanno costruito nel luogo donato da Sigrid.
Arn conoscer脿 padre Henri, uomo dalla spiritualit脿 aperta e preoccupato per la libert脿 del ragazzo. Tra i monaci incontrer脿 anche Guilbert, templare rinchiuso l矛 per un tempo di penitenza; da lui Arn imparer脿 l'uso della spada, dell'arco, inizier脿 a cavalcare e a comprendere l'arte della battaglia. Da questo padre Henri riconosce che Arn ha una vocazione lontano da quel luogo e lo rimanda a casa perch茅 possa conoscere il mondo, ma la sua innocenza ed inesperienza gli procureranno una serie di difficolt脿.
La storia va avanti tra trame politiche, tentativi di matrimoni di opportunit脿 poi qualche affondo e qualche duello, niente altro.
Arn si innamorer脿 di Cecilia, ma per colpa di Katrina (sorella stronza) saranno costretti ad allontanarsi: Cecilia sar脿 rinchiusa in un monastero di suore con tendenze al sequestro e allo sfruttamento di persona, Arn partir脿 per le crociate.
Nota positiva 猫 che la birra 猫 la bevanda base: ho gi脿 detto che un po' mi dispiace non aver fatto parte di quest'epoca?

An enjoyable tale. I liked the way the male and female story lines whent back and forth. I also enjoyed the character development and especially Celcelia Blanca's personality. Although, I do think it's clear the book was written by a man and not a mom. I am not sure how Celcelia rosa could pass any day with out feelings of horrible lose for the child taken from her. Nthe reunion is well done, but in think more time should have been spent on her feelings of loss for the child and just longing for Arn.
As for the scenes in the holy land, I liked Arn's relationship with Saladin. While reading this book, I was listening to series of lectures on the crusades which helped place the book within the historical context of the period. This helped em when reading the book b/c I could focus on the storyline and less of the history,
One element I would have enjoyed more of was a further developed sense of place. I feltas if the passages on the nunnery were good when it came to that in terms of the cold, stoic atmosphere. But I wanted more from the descriptions of the middle east.
I do plan on reading the third one, but I am not in any major hurry to do so.

The novel continues to follow Arn during his 20 year service in the Order of the Templar knights and Cecilias' stay in the convent Gudhem. Even though it's the second book in the trilogy, I think it also works as a standalone novel.
I love how the characters and the story develops. You can see that the writer did a really good job not just with research of the historical period but also how he made the story progress and develop. Through Arn we get to see both sides of the Crusades, the Christian and Muslim, and also a little bit of the Jewish side which I find very interesting. We learn why they fight this war and moreover, Arns' feelings about it and how he treats his friends and enemies. From Cecilias' POV we see her suffering and, eventually, rise at the convent Gudhem, her friendship with the future queen also named Cecilia and the political intrigue. This book made me care for the characters and what will happen to them, and in my mind only a good book can do that. There are so many themes of religion, what's right and wrong, friendship etc.
Overall, I think it's a very good book and would definitely recommend it to fellow readers.

I was a bit worried about the pace of the first book in the series. It plodded along at times, and despite the title, Arn never made it to Jerusalem.
This book, however, definitely met and exceeded my expectations. The pacing is far better. Years have passed before the start of this book, and many years pass through the course of it. We're only provided with the most important points, with brief interludes of history to help explain the scenario.
Perhaps more important than the actual Templar Knight in the title, is the role of Cecilia. I was a bit upset to find that entire chapters were devoted to her, but quickly changed my mind. Guillou did an admirable job of making me care about this character and her own struggles with her penance.
After the first book, I was somewhat ambivalent about completing the series, but this book changed my mind. I'm eager to see what happens in book 3.

PROTAGONIST: Arn Magnusson, Templar Knight, and Cecilia Rosa, convent resident
SERIES: #2 of 3
RATING: 4.0
WHY: I received this book for review and thought for sure that it would not be my cup of tea, as I am not really in to historicals. After I read it for a while, I realized that it wasn't even crime fiction; but by then, I was involved in the book. The second book in a trilogy, the focus shifts from Cecilia Rosa who is serving a 20-year penance in a convent for being an unwed mother, under an evil and cruel abbess. The main focus is on Arn Magnusson, her betrothed, who is serving 20 years in the Templar Knights and serves first as fortress master in Gaza and then Jerusalem. A bit overlong and could have edited out some of the segments. Overall, a good book. This was originally written in Swedish and has an amazingly excellent translation which made it very accessible.

WHY: I received this book for review and thought for sure that it would not be my cup of tea, as I am not really in to historicals.

Na tatinu preporuku uhvatila sam se u ko拧tac s Guillouovom trilogijom - prvi dio (鈥濸ut u Jeruzalem鈥�) pro膷itala sam krajem pro拧le godine, a na red je do拧ao i drugi dio. Problem je u tome 拧to me povijesna fikcija u trenutku 膷itanja nije zanimala pretjerano, ali kako volim 膷itati raznovrsno i usput ne拧to nau膷iti, odlu膷ila sam posvetiti vrijeme i kri啪arskim ratovima.
鈥濾itez templar鈥� uglavnom mi je bio dosadnjikav, tek negdje pred kraj me je knjiga privukla. 艩to ja znam, te silne borbe, hrpa likova i prostora s kojima se ni na koji na膷in ne mogu povezati niti mi je stalo do njih pa onda veli膷anje glavnog lika u nebesa... skoro sve je bilo dosta daleko od onoga 拧to mi se svi膽a. Dodu拧e, svidio mi se stav koji pripovjeda膷 zastupa pa zato ocjena vi拧e nego 拧to sam planirala.

I found this book to be an interesting and thought-provoking account of the Crusades. Guillou's discussions and interaction between Arn, the Knight Templar, and Saladin offer interesting insight into the struggle between Islam and Christianity that continues today.

Great middle book in the series, as the action takes us to the actual crusades in Jerusalem and surrounding areas.
Good background on the history and why the second crusade was lost by the Christians.

Intro
(Not sure this counts for Fantasy Bingo... but since the main character Arn is practically a saint who learns everything faster than anyone.. he counts as a magical creature....)
OK, time to turn off the snark.
So this book is about a fictional hero - Arn - who was sentenced to serve for 20 years as a Templar for the crime of sleeping with his girlfriend Cecilia before they were married - and being seduced by her sister as well (Thats mainly from book 1, but it gets touched upon in this one too).
The book focused mainly on Arn and his time in the Holy Land as a ranking Templar Knight in the war against the Saracens, but there were the occassional bits which turned to the life of Cecilia Rosa who was stuck in a nunnery for 20 years (also punished for the crime of sleeping with Arn before they were married....)
Sorry to say, but this is the first book where I have seen BOTH a Mary Sue and Gary Stu character in full force... So many other characters were constantly expressing surprise at how holy, intelligent, kind, beautiful, skillful, educated, etc, etc, etc the two (Arn and Cecilia) were... And they are constantly more moral and righteous than everyone around them.
Characters
Arn Magnusson is the Templar Knight - Il Ghouti to the Saracens. He is the platonic ideal of the "paladin". Faithful, Loyal, supremely educated and skilful, kind & compassionate to all. We meet him as he "accidentally" saves Saladin (yes, that famous one) from bandits on the road. He then sits down to a meal with these "unfaithful" and makes a great impression and becomes friends with Saladin - and able to both speak fluent arabic and quote from the Koran....
He is consistently shown as the best swordsman and rider, feared by the Saracens, and able to pull of military miracles through his "clever" tactics. He is also practically the only man trying to find a peaceful solution to the war. During the book he is raised to the position of "Master of Jerusalem", the second most powerful Templar in the Holy Land... and is waiting out his 20 years of service until he can return home to his beloved.
Cecilia Rosa is the long suffering girlfriend of Arn, who is serving the same 20 year sentence, but as a lay-member of a cloister in Gotaland. She is beautiful, sings perfectly, able to bear all the abuse from a evil abbess without once becoming bitter/angry. She "rises" from a young innocent girl, introduces the idea of creating finely made clothing to sell so that the abbey can make more money, learns how to be an accountant and run the abbey better than anyone else, and makes friends with the future queen..
Cecilia Blanca is another "punished" girl who joins the abbey. She is the future wife of a clan-leader among the Goths. She is one of two members of the currently weaker clan (both the Celcilias) and everyone is against them. She is irreligious and a constant troublemaker, but becomes the best friend of Rosa. When her betrothed wins the clan-war and becomes King, she is rescued and becomes Queen and continues to help Rosa however she can.
There are a number of other characters... Ulfhildr (a clanless girl who becomes friends with the Cecilias), the Evil Abbess, a plethora of incompetent priests and warriors, Saladin, and a host of debauched, cruel, and plain idiotic christian Kings, Lords, and soldiers... Basically they all seem to exist to show how perfect Arn and Cecilia are...
Plot/Setting
The Abbey of Gudhem in G枚taland - A cold place in scandinavia which slowly gains wealth thanks to the ideas of Cecilia to produce fine clothing... Also the war-torn lands around full of barbaric men and conniving women...
The Holy Lands, dry, desert, full of Bedoins, educated Muslims, ignorant and cruel christians, and debauched Frankish lords.
Pacing/tone
I think the author doesn't like christianity... Actually, the theme of "long suffering smart people vs the world of ignorant idiots in power" fills this book. Its not a bad theme, just the whole thing is as subtle as a bag of bricks to the head. There was literally only one character (the original Templar Grand Master) who was actually nice - every other leader, and most soldiers, were egotistical, debauched, conniving, ignorant evil bastards. It is as if GRR Martin made everyone like Joffrey except for Ned Stark...
Writing Style
OK, here I need to calm down. As this is a translation I need to give a little break. The story of Cecilia was actually interesting when it appeared. The life of 10th century nuns actually was interesting (somehow). The telling of events of G枚taland actually kept me enthralled. Such a pity there were so few of them. This felt like a "game of thrones"-lite following along with the story of Sansa: Cecilia stuck as almost a pawn in other peoples' political plans.
But the story of Arn was, for the most part, just terribly written. It seemed like the author was determined to "Tell, not Show". There were hundred of pages of "Lord X went and gather his army for a raid on City Y. Then over the next years he ruled it with an iron fist. His wife was sleeping with the Bishop and they then assassinated Lord X and became Kings." - that level of detail (or lack of) for hundreds of pages...
I literally cried in frustration.
You'd like this if : umm... no. Can't think of a reason to actually like this book. If you want to read something about the crusades you may as well go look up wikipedia - it has a better narrative...
OK, if you want to read about politics in a nunnery you might get a kick out of Cecilia's story... but the "Mary Sue"-ish plot does get a little on the nose at times.
Other Thoughts
I am really upset at this book. The first book - The Road to Jerusalem was actually pretty good, but that concentrated on the inter-clan rivalry in G枚taland, the love story between Arn and Cecilia, and the conflict of religion and politics.
Nearly all of that was thrown away to give what amounted to a long wiki-article on the crusades, with a few set pieces of Arn behaving better than everyone and surrounded by idiot christians and educated Saracens.. (seriously.. not a single crude saracen soldier, or one bent on revenge, anything?)
There is no chance that I will read anything else by this author... sorry.

I enjoyed this a lot, but your mileage may vary. Guillou slyly inserts Our Hero, Arn Magnusson de Gothia, into basically every battle and significant event in the two decades prior to October 2nd, 1187. I have yet to find any names of any of the Templar Order's fortress masters in my copy of William of Tyre, so there you are with a handy historical blank space for Arn to flourish. The events follow William's account pretty closely, and certainly his insistence that Outremer was doomed to fall as God's judgment for the sins and foolishness of its leaders is mirrored here in Guillou's fictionalized account.
There certainly is a lot packed in here as we read the story of the latter half of Arn's twenty-year penance. Indeed, when we consider that fully half the book is devoted to his beloved, Cecilia, and her own twenty years of penance as a lay sister in the West Gotaland convent of Gudhem.
The dual narratives are a study in contrasts. Arn's is sprawling, masculine, far-travelled, concerned with war but searching for peace with one's foes as one's allies run further astray. Cecilia's is confined, feminine, highly localized, set in a place of ostensible peace but driving increasingly towards conflict - with others, with oneself, with the Cistercian Rule, with how to live with freedom after more of a life spent in confinement than out of it. Arn is the idealist, devoted, ready to die for a greater cause but increasingly worried that faith without reason and insight will fall into the unthinking fanaticism and idiotic bloodlust he increasingly sees around him on the eve of the Latin Kingdom's fall. Cecilia is a pragmatist, ever looking for opportunities for rebellion against a vengeful and self-serving abbess who comes to be eerily similar to the worst of the fools Arn must suffer in Palestine. She struggles with guilt at her penchant for disobedience (which she is arguably forced into) and seeks for ways to serve God faithfully, but at the end of the day she is more self-protecting and morally flexible than Arn.
Cecilia, surprisingly, confronts the more disturbing evil - Arn witnesses enough dull-witted fanatics and conscience-less selfishness to drown the spirits of a half a dozen saints, but Cecilia must face a truly vicious evil that knows exactly what it's doing and commits an entire adult life and Christian vocation to see it through. Her final confrontation with Mother Rikissa (and Rikissa's first feigned confession) are truly disturbing, the intended kindness and grace of the penitential act perverted into active deception and evil. Dante Aligheri would nod approvingly, if in distaste. Complex fraud, indeed.
This book's primary weakness is related to its great strength - Guillou's copious historical research. In an effort to keep things relatively in line with the known histories, cover twenty years, and simultaneously not bog down the narrative/bloat this out by multiple volumes, our author tends to tell a lot more than he shows, especially in Arn's side of the story. The narrator alone handles some of the biggest beats, such as Arn's participation in the punishing Christian defeat at the Horns of Hattin. Ridley Scott likewise chose to avoid showing Hattin in "Kingdom of Heaven", but I feel this book missed out on more by skipping most of the battle. I admire Arn Magnusson a lot more as a warrior, a leader, and a Christian than Ridley Scott's version of Balian d'Ibelin (who was no slouch at the first two), and I would have dearly liked to see him in his greatest hour of testing in both body and spirit. Cecilia's story is much more intimate; we stay with her much more closely, and the narrator must content themselves with some foreshadowing.
As always, I love Jan Guillou's refusal to follow after his literary peers in excoriating medieval Catholicism. Arn, Cecilia, and many others are real, complex people who love God and struggle against their own sinful natures without blaming their Creator and charging off into materialistic self-determining atheism at the first sign of trial and storm. Our leads suffer much, but they hang on. Islam and Judaism are given respect and dignity as well.
Recommended, especially if your taste is like mine. On to the third and final volume.

The Knight Templar is the second book in the Crusades trilogy (in Sweden called the Arn-trilogy), and was in my opinion a strong sequel. As compared with the first book in the series, The Knight Templar contained more action and war. Its pacing felt better, as we had already gotten to know the characters and the "world" in the first book.
The Knight Templar is told from two different perspectives, and we get to follow both Arn Magnusson during his adventures in the Holy Land, as well as Cecilia during her penance in the monastery of Gudhem. I found both of the stories equally intriguing; Arn's story contained more action/war, whilst Cecilia waged a war of her own kind in the monastery which however relied more upon her wit and schemes than physical force. The two story lines felt well balanced, and interweaved in the book in a way which had no adverse impact on the pacing.
I have thus far liked Guillou's language in all of his books that I've read. This was also the case in The Knight Templar. I especially liked the poetic/philosophical way in which Arn's dialogue is written, and I truly enjoyed the dialogue between Arn and Saladin. It was intriguing to learn more about the crusades and the war that was waged between Christians and Muslims. As always is the case with Guillou, the book felt very well-researched and historically accurate (although I am perhaps not the right person to make that judgment, since I am ignorant about that historical epoch).

As the second book, I must say, I was quite impressed by how good this work stands, as a part of a trilogy or as standalone title. The plot jumps in years and we have an opportunity to see all those young people (we've met in the last book) grow. This chapter has two parallel stories, set on the opposite sides of the known world, with various cultural, political, religious and theological events revolving around main characters. We are introduced to many historical figures of that time and it is in this conversation, which our main protagonist has with them, where it lies the beauty of this novel. A chance for people to see the situation and standings from a different point of view. Nothing is so simple, as it may seems. The events that transpires will put these people on a strange path, as well as facing hard challenges, while contemplating the choices they make. What are they forced to give up and what is higher good and for whom? All that awaits you in this marvelous work, as the journey continues into the next title.

Decisamente migliore del precedente, non ci sono quei punti morti che avevano penalizzato il primo volume della saga. Il libro scorre veloce, senza rallentamenti, complice una trama ben congegnata, avvincente e carica di emozioni.
Tra i personaggi meglio riusciti del libro spicca il Saladino, probabilmente il personaggio migliore del romanzo, che mette in ombra anche il protagonista. Interessante, e originale, il punto di vista di Guillou sulle Crociate, che fa esprimere per mezzo della voce narrante di Arn.
In alcuni punti non 猫 molto storicamente accurato, dubito infatti che Saladino possa esser divenuto amico di un Templare, ma l'autore 猫 riuscito a rendere molto verosimile il fatto, senza forzature.
In conclusione una nota sul titolo: finalmente un titolo azzeccato, il precedente aveva poco a che fare coi templari, pur intitolandosi "Il Templare"...

Follow Swedish Crusader Arn Magnusson from the battle of Montgisard (1177) to the battle of Hattin (1187), that very battle where Guy de Lusignan was captured and Renault de Chatillon executed by Saladin.
A Swedish passport is often an asset in the middle-east and already applied back in 1187. Arn Magnusson is the only Templar knight to be spared by Saladin after the battle of Hattin. Good for him, he can go back to Sweden to his sexy fianc茅e who is locked in a nunnery.
Quite an enjoyable book, especially if you don鈥檛 mind Marie Sue characters once in a while.
