I will tell you a story of magic and love, of daring and death, and one to comfort your heart. It will be the truest story I have ever told. Now listen, and tell me if it is not so.Basing only on the cover and the title, I had my doubts on this book, but I'm glad I cam across it. Keturah and the Lor...

What a special little book. This book is told in a fairy tale fashion that reminds me of some of my favorite [a:Juliet Marillier|8649|Juliet Marillier|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1373081365p2/8649.jpg] and [b:Robin McKinley|9691190|Robin McKinley|Lambert M.

1.5 starsKeturah and Lord Death is clearly a fairy tale and unfortunately it failed in terms of being as enticing as a fairy tale is meant to be. The characters are not well-drawn, therefore I felt little care about what happened to them or what choice Keturah made at the end. Death was rather an ey...

It’s a sad day when you think someone isn’t good enough for Death. What’s that condemn them to? Surely not endless life, that seems like more of a reward. Purgatory then? I suppose if I believed in it that would apply here but wait a minute, don’t you have to be dead to go to purgatory? Drat. I'm ba...

4.5 starsI loved fairy tales as a kid, and fairy tales are normally written for, well, kids. So it is extremely refreshing to read a fairy tale that is meant for a more mature audience…with a touch of romance, and a hint of magic. It is so beautifully told. I loved it.

I'm surprised at how enjoyable this story was, given that it's written in a kind of older fable-esque kind of way, and also you pretty much know the end given, well, the title. But the story itself feels timeless, Keturah as a protagonist was utterly endearing and relateable (to the extent that I ca...

“There is no hell, John Temsland. Each man, when he dies, sees the landscape of his own soul.” This book kind of stomped all over my heart. Not because of the love story, which I don't consider a spoiler because anyone with a brain will see it coming from the beginning (Or the cover. Or the descript...

I really wasn't about to review this book but the betrayal I feel wants to be let out.Almost a week ago, just before I read this book, I had been having a real, good-book streak. Truly, every book I read was a four-star read and I either loved them or just really, really liked them all. And I looked...
