Review by: Michael Joseph on Aug. 22, 2011 :
I'm surprised there aren't more m/m books set in the crusades. It would seem to be fertile ground. "Test of Faith" was quite a refreshing change from the Regency/Victorian setting of most historical romances these days. It doesn't have a happily ever after ending, which is disappointing but true to the characters. There are a couple of reasons I didn't give it four stars:

The point of view flip-flops between the two protagonists - Abdul and Thierry. This is hard to pull off, although I'd say it was the right decision for this story. Early in the book, the POV is changing every paragraph or two, and at times it took a few sentences to realize you were now looking at things from the other character. This improved a bit towards the end.

The Smashwords Kindle version I read had random font changes. It started out in a sans text, then there started to be a word or two in serif, then whole paragraphs for several pages. And then it changed back to sans. It sounds like a nit to pick, but it was quite jarring. It's amazing that publishers put crap like this out there. It wouldn't be that hard to fix this problem, and it probably shows that the publisher is putting no effort into eBooks at all.

In the midst of a battle of faiths, two enemies come together in a test of their principles. Moving and tragic. One moment of tenderness as a prelude to harsh destinies.
