An absorbing tale of adventure, politics, and with a dash of romance in it, this is the perfect story for all of those readers who want a little something more in their reads. You know? The readers who feel as if no author, can surprise them anymore... *hands in the air* (at least it works for old ...
Set in a different part of the same post-apocalyptic world as For Darkness Shows the Stars, this book is more of a companion novel than a sequel. The two islands of New Pacifica are Albion (think a futuristic pacific islander England) and Galatea (sci-fi revolutionary France). In Albion they have de...
Boy, I like this series better with each successive novel. I really enjoyed For Darkness Shows the Stars last year, and I think this one manages to raise the bar even higher. I appreciate that the author builds complex relationships, between friends, siblings, love interests, and parents and childre...
What tickled me: Only thing better than a Scarlet Pimpernel hero? A Scarlet Pimpernel heroine! What ticked me off: This future world includes mentions of some classic books -- even though The Scarlet Pimpernel isn't one of them, that just got a little too meta for me, somehow. Who might like it:...
I highly advise for a third installment of this books.Please.With a twisty, complicated plot, with some For Darkness Shows the Stars people, the return of the Wild Poppy, technology like never before seen & lots of Justen & Persis. Plus Persis & Justen. PLEASE? I kid you not, this book heart attacke...
So this was good. Much better than I was expecting. I mean, a Scarlet Pimpernel retelling with a girl as the Pimpernel?? Color me wary. Not only that but I was less than enthusiastic about Peterfreund's "For Darkness Shows The Stars". Not so here. We had it all; world building, good smart characters...
Being swept off my feet by the first book, I knew immediately that I wanted to read this one. I love classics stories. And I love it when authors take a classic and put an amazing spin on it. Plot: From what I heard, this is an inspire tale of the classic The Scarlet Pimpernel. Though this is one...
4.5 StarsA companion novel. That’s what they are calling this second book in Diana Peterfreund’s For Darkness Shows the Stars series. It is fully a stand alone book AND it is a second entry in the series. Above all, it is an amazing world to get caught up and utterly lost in. Take one part The S...
If I were to be totally honest, For Darkness Shows the Stars is better than Across a Star-Swept Sea, but only a little. I really love both books, but there's just something missing with Across a Star-Swept Sea.Across a Star-Swept Sea started with Persis Blake's term paper which basically sums up wha...
Based on The Scarlet Pimpernel? Hmmm. That sounded different and interesting. Of course, because I'm a total slacker, I had never actually read Orczy's novel. So. It may be hard to believe, but I decided to bite the proverbial bullet and read...gulp...a classic. Yes ladies and gentlemen, in prepara...
