England 1161. Die 12jährige Ellen, Tochter eines Schwertschmieds, möchte nur eines: ebenfalls Schwertschmiedin werden. Doch das ist für ein Mädchen undenkbar. Als sie nach einer ungeheuerlichen Entdeckung von zu Hause fliehen muss, verkleidet Ellen sich als Junge und nutzt die Chance: Sie begleitet einen berühmten Schwertschmied in die Normandie und lernt dort als Schmiedejunge Alan das Handwerk ausüben und das höfische Leben kennen. Doch die Lüge, auf der sie ihr Leben aufgebaut hat, wird ihr zum Verhängnis, als sie sich in einen jungen Ritter verliebt, denn sie darf ihre Identität nicht preisgeben.

Evaluation About Books Das kupferne Zeichen (Das kupferne Zeichen #1)

This book is a 3 star in the begging but goes down to a 2 star in the end. I was really interested in the idea of the book, the writting however seemed juvenile. The way the story was told seemed geared for young adults, however there were sceens I would definitely not want a teenager to read. They also might be bogged down in the history and the details of smithing. Which as an adult I enjoyed the depth of research she obviously had to do. In the end the character became so self centered and

I read this book when I was in elementary school, and I really loved it! (If your thoughts right now equate to something like "How did a 9 year old get her hands on this and what were her parent doing"; I read my mom's copy in secret because she wouldn't let me read it. Which, in hindsight, is understandable)One thing I especially liked was how detailed the process of making a sword was written in. It was super interesting, and Ellen learning about it was my favorite part of the book.

I'd give this between2 1/2 and 3 stars. I started this back in March when i didn't have anything else to read on a plane, and just picked it back up a few days ago. This novel is so richly filled with history and knowledge of the art of blacksmithing! Kati's Fox truly did her research and it truly paid off in her writing. As others have said, this book gets 5 stars for its research. From there, it loses a few stars. I felt as though it was a little long-winded and at times felt as though we

This book seemed so promising, but in the end it was a disappointment to me. I get how exciting it is when a novelist does their research and learns a ton of stuff on a historical subject, like, say, swordmaking, but that does NOT mean I want to read a 20 page treatise on swordmaking in the middle of a novel. If I WANTED to read a swordmaking treatise, Id be reading that, not the novel. Letting your research show is the absolute worst thing a novelist can do and it slowed down the pace of this

Complete disappointment by the end. Started out well, Ellen wants nothing more than to work in the smith wither her father and become a swordmaker in her own right. But she's a girl, and this is 1161, so that's not possible. At first, the story was interesting, with wanting to know if and how Ellen would achieve her dream but by the third time something bad happened and Ellen had to flee with nothing and start all over again - but always with some convenient miracle so it's not too hard - I was

Research - 5 stars (at least as far as blacksmithing goes)Execution - 1 starWriting ability - 2 starsOriginally published in Germany in 2006, The Copper Sign was picked up and translated by Amazon.com's AmazonCrossing publishing imprint. Now, I don't know if it's the fault of the translator or if it's the fault of the original prose, but despite the book's history, it still reads as a self-published work. There's a good book in here and a competent editor would've brought it out. As it stands,

In this books defense - it is a translation. At first I found it really difficult to read. The author gives way to much detail in times when it's not needed and the language is a bit simple. However, after I realized this book was translated into English I began to enjoy it a bit more. The author weaves a good story and the main character is likable. If you skim over some of the long descriptions it helps to make the story more fast paced and interesting. If you want a quick historical fiction
