Great historical figures, great expectations. Truth be told my attention was caught by the cover and yet, as soon as I found out the main character was HER, I knew it was meant to be, meant to be read by me. Little did I know. Full of historical inaccuracies, unnecessarily verbose, dwelling on descriptions of facts irrelevant to the story. Chen gives us a rather secular portrait of La Pulcelle, cutting out most of the peculiarities that made her the heroine we know. Honestly so bad that I almost grew fond of it!
