![]() When asked the trick question during her trial of whether she is in God's grace, this uneducated peasant responds, “If I am not, may God bring me to it if I am, may God keep me in it." Joan was able to verbally spar with these highly educated men who were twice her age, and not only keep up with them, but best them at their own game. Joan the Maid was truly a strong, inspirational female. There are a lot of side notes which were also very informative and appreciated. It was nice to have an interpretation of who they were, and what they looked like, even if it was an antique artist’s impression. There are a handful of artwork and early depictions of the subjects included in the book which I found remarkable. I thought I had a pretty firm grasp on the majority of her story but much to my delight, there was a lot that I did not know. I learned a lot more than I thought I would about the life of Joan of Arc. ![]() I found the majority of the book compelling and very interesting. ![]() This book reads a bit like a history book, which is appropriate for the subject matter. ![]()
