Loved this retelling of Rapunzel. It's just amazing. It's set in 13th century Italy in Salerno and the medical school there, and it's so, so perfect. You absolutely sympathize with Laura (the witch) and can see how she became the person who not only stole Bieta, but also became so afraid of loosing...
I'm giving this four stars because of how much I like the idea of this book, how all the parts of it are things that I adore and have sought so much in other books like this. I just wish I'd, I don't know, enjoyed the book more? It was three stars' worth of enjoyment, not four. For as much as I real...
4/5; 4 stars; A-I really enjoyed this book. I've been dragging my feet on finishing it and reviewing for the lamest reason....I have had to get the next one through inter library loan and I don't want to have to wait too long from one to the next. I really enjoy looking at the world through the ey...
4.5/5; 5 stars; AThis book was recommended to me by my GR friend, Werner, who manages one of the groups I belong to, Action Heroine Fans. I loved the protagonist in this story, Sarah Tolerance, and she is definitely a worthy character for the Action Heroine Fans to admire! I really enjoyed thi...
Another rather entertaining read. Lady John is about a widow, the said Lady John who married her husband in Brussels during the war between the French and English and is now invited, by her husband's family, to come to England to meet with them. They're not sure who she is or what to make of her unt...
This book looked good in the write-up and I liked the cover...sorry, but that does matter some in my choice of books. Something has to catch my eye! Anyway, it started out rather stiffly and seemed sort of choppy. But once I got farther into the story and things started to hang together, then I like...
A sort-of Regency mystery with a female detective. I found the world interesting, and Sarah nicely done, but had a hard time with the pacing and sort of the general atmosphere (I’m having a hard time pinpointing exactly what I didn’t like about it, which is why that sentence is so vague). (Dec 2011)
3.5-4+ starsThese books are difficult for me to rate, because while they're well-written, they're gritty and harsh - not at all what one might expect from a Regency novel. They remind me a bit of Jennifer Ashley's Captain Lacey mysteries - they expose the underbelly of London Society. What happens t...
Good thing the jacket cover gives a summary of who Sarah Tolerance is before we start the book... that's my only nit with this book, that it plunges us in without much background about our main character. We get hints and clues, but there's much "assumed" and much revealed only slowly, over the cour...
I checked both this book, and the first book in the series out from the library. Having read both over the weekend, and really enjoying them, I have purchased both books (thank you BetterWorldBooks.com!) to add to my permanent home library. This book was every bit as enjoyable as the first. The ...
