9/2 - I enjoyed this book, as I knew I would after reading the blurb. The plot immediately jumped out at me from the airport bookstore (called Coles, in Calgary) shelf. Ancient mysteries somehow connect across 800 years, to people living in current times. This idea really excited me and so I boug...

Originally reviewed at mightylewry.wordpress.comThis was a great story, centered around the aftermath of the Great War, and Freddie. the story deals with the tragic loss Freddie’s brother who was never recovered and links in with the middle ages of all things and the horrific acts soldiers undertak...
This reads far too much like a The Da Vinci Code wannabe, dealing with a Grail Quest set in France and involving a Secret Society and a gal threatened by a thuggish cult. This gets one star more than Dan Brown's book because it's better written and more historically accurate--or given I'm no expert,...
I have so much to say about this book, and yet no patience to say it all.(warning: there's going to be a lot of cussing in this. yeah i know i always have a lot of cussing but there's probably gonna be more than usual in here.)(i also apologise for any incoherency i am cold as shit right now and my ...
Labyrinth by Kate Mosse is the first book in the Languedoc trilogy. The novel is an archaeological mystery novel, featuring dual-time and story-lines. This is a reread, as it was previously read back in 2007. Read my full and more in depth review at my blog, V for Vilde.Labyrinth is engrossing novel...
Interesting if a tad convoluted adventure that is better written than Da Vinci Code, not exceptionally better and quite convoluted. Also an inheritor of having read the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail and taking a different tack. The ending is over convoluted and I'm not totally sure that the author...
It kept me reading but didn't really impress. I suppose it's difficult to follow a success like Labyrinth (which I also found engaging but not impressive) and this rides solidly on it's coat tails. I am starting to really dislike novels that have parallel tracks of time and parallel stories happen...
I really liked the first book, somewhat enjoyed the second but this one is just terrible. I just couldn't get into this book. First of all, I abhor anything to do with WWII and Hitler so this book was especially hard to stomach. The atrocities the Germans perpetuated against everyone (especially th...
"Libraries aren't supermarkets; they're places of cultural importance, where magic happens and where dreams begin. Or at least they should be" - Ann Cleeves.It is possible to step empty-handed into a library, and find fragments and pieces of your soul among the endless bookshelves. It happened to me...
