I finally got through this book. And by that I mean I skipped huge chunks of the middle and read the last ten chapters. Honestly, I don't think I missed anything. I think anyone who picked this book up at the last ten chapters wouldn't miss anything. But seriously - Molasses on a cold day moves fa...
I have long been fascinated with the history of medieval France, bloody though it was. This book, the first in a trilogy, in particular, as it deals with the legendary holy grail and of the mystery surrounding it. The storyline interweaves a modern-day archaeological dig with flashbacks to the 13th ...
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...
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...
(actually 3.5 rounded down) To be honest, there was a lot more in this book that I liked than I disliked, but I think it's mostly the writing and organization that gives this novel a low rating. Pacing was not consistent throughout the novel and it put me off. It starts off at a very slow, deli...
Oh dear me. This was really two books in one, with the most spurious connection between the two. On one level you've got a tale of the 1200s in southern France, connected to the Cathar persecution, and the protection of a religious treasure. But the treasure that is in danger isn't actually a Cathar...
Labyrinth is a good read especially to those who enjoy history, Grail legends and adventure all wrapped into one. This is where I lament over the fact that I didn't spend more time studying French of French history and geography. Had I done that, keeping up with the names and places would have been ...
