Les Rois maudits 
I have read the first four volumes of this wonderful series and I can't wait to get the last three volumes. It brings French history alive. I love Maurice Druon's manner of getting inside his characters' heads and his wonderful reflections that resonate so well with my take on life.
I couldn't get past book 3These seemed like a great way to get some more French History. I'll never forget the first book but I couldn't get through the whole series. May try again later

Definitivamente una colección que todo buen lector interesado en la historia y el medievo, debe de leer. Mis libros favoritos fueron los primeros 5 tomos -El Rey de Hierro hasta La loba de Francia-
A fantastic chunk of the royal history of France. A matter-of-fact approach of all the cruelty, plots, tragedy, deceit, drama and intrigues taking place among royal personages. A simple and shocking way to trade anything for power, a time and place where human lives held less value than a title for those always ready to kill and betray. I've rarely read such a controversial and shocking book, the more so as it is inspired by real facts and people: the cursed dynasty of the French kings.
Meilleur que Game of Thrones :-)
The whole series is amazing.

Narration As Books Les Rois maudits
"Tous maudits, jusqu'à la septième génération !" : telle est la funeste malédiction que le chef des templiers, depuis les flammes du bûcher, lance au visage de Philippe le Bel, roi de France. Nous sommes en 1314 et la prophétie va se réaliser : pendant plus d'un demi-siècle, les rois se succèdent sur le trône de France, mais n'y restent jamais bien longtemps. D'intrigues de palais en morts subites, de révolutions dynastiques en guerres meurtrières, c'est la valse des rois maudits...L'avenir de la France se joue pendant ces quelques années noires, période trouble de l'Histoire. Une époque extraordinaire, jamais ennuyeuse, comme romanesque... L'auteur l'a bien compris, lui qui conte les histoires secrètes du royaume et des hommes, de leurs passions comme de leurs faiblesses qui bien souvent bouleversèrent le sort de la France.
Académicien, Maurice Druon a rencontré un vif succès avec ces Rois maudits dont l'adaptation pour le petit écran a marqué des générations de téléspectateurs. --Karla Manuele
