The author claims that Joan of Arc was the greatest woman in history and after reading this book, I don't disagree. Many have written about this amazing woman, but this novel brings to life the young girl who lead an army. Cutter sticks to historical facts as she imagines Joan's life in this novel. It quickly becomes a page-turner even though we all know the story. The author has a wonderful style and the ability to involve the reader into what is perhaps the most real retelling of this tale. It is blunt and gruesome in parts, but how could it not be describing that period in time. An excellent book!
