If you don't want to watch, there is a really good spot near Spryla tower where you can lower the respawn timer of Fay the Last Protector from 5 minutes down to 2 minutes. Bhaskaran, Gautaman (22 December 2018). "Review: Turkish Netflix drama 'The Protector' a let-down". Arab News. Archived from the original on 1 August 2019 . Retrieved 26 December 2018. Burçin Terzioğlu as Rüya Erdem / Cavidan, Faysal's wife / love interest (guest: seasons 1 and 4; main: seasons 2–3) Based on certain historical facts Andrew Taylor has woven a gripping tale of plots, favours and the sheer wretchedness of life for women, servants and the underclass. Learn about the Bawdy House riots, the half-life of the last Protector, the mazer-scourers, and how absolutely foul people can be to others.
There is nothing to dislike in this story as it is well thought out period novel giving a good balance of the violence,lewdness and general stink of the times. Some violence and some sex but none that I felt was out of context of the story. CJ Sansom has his 16th century heavyweight series featuring the wonderful Matthew Shardlake and Taylor has constructed an evocative, atmospheric and realistic world ecosystem for his 17th century series. I really enjoy improving my scanty knowledge of this period of history, not covered when I was at school in the 1960's. The amount of detail is well researched and never becomes dry in tone. By concentrating upon familiar characters, we are free to comprehend the issues of social morality, the schemes of so called gentlemen, and the lifestyle of the women, both titled and those engaged in the oldest profession!!Final Season of 'The Protector' Coming to Netflix in July 2020".

My thanks to Harper Collins U.K. for an eARC via NetGalley of ‘The Last Protector’ by Andrew Taylor in exchange for an honest review. It was published on 2 April. James Marwood, a traitor’s son turned government agent, is given the assignment of uncovering Cromwell’s motives. Yet this is complicated by the discovery that his friend, Cat Lovett, was close to the Cromwells as a child. Elizabeth Cromwell, sister to Richard, seems especially keen to renew their friendship. a b "Netflix renews contract for Turkish series 'Protector' ". Hürriyet Daily News. 5 December 2018.

I particularly liked the blend of the intrigue with the need of characters to exist within the historical frame work. Well done Andrew Taylor, a very good read. Enough for me to round up my 4.75 to a 5 which I rarely give. Marwood realizes what Cat is doing, and he honors his obligation to her rather than turning in the Hakesbys and Cromwells to King Charles II to make favor. She tells him that two gentlemen in particular, Roger Durrell and a former clergyman named Veal, may be following them with nefarious intentions. There is also a big secret known to the Cromwells and Cat that lies deep within Whitehall under the nose of Charles II. It will take all the cunning and guile that Cat and Marwood can muster to help uncover it and escape with their own lives. But what is life without adventure? Although this is a stand-alone novel, it will undoubtedly send the new reader to find Andrew Taylor's Ashes of London, The Fire Court and King's Evil. For lovers of C.J. Sansom this is a must read. This is the fourth in Taylor’s James Marwood and Cat Lovett series set in Restoration England. Last year I read and reviewed ‘The King’s Evil’ so had some familiarity with the characters and setting.
Cat will not be alone in her endeavors and allegiance to the Cromwell family as she is reunited with an “old friend,” who is none other than James Marwood, a traitor’s son turned government agent. Cat and Marwood initially met during the Great Fire 18 months prior and since then have become indebted to each other through successive adventures of peril and intrigue. If you would like to learn more about them, I recommend reading the previous three entries in this stellar series: THE ASHES OF LONDON, THE FIRE COURT and THE KING’S EVIL. You will not be disappointed.
