![]() Reviewed in the United Kingdom □□ on 25 April 2021 Not the best offering by a incredible writer. ![]() ![]() Lou voracious reader and mum of three 3.0 out of 5 stars I feel genuinely worried for 'horsemen' that's coming out in sept/Oct. By all means if this is your first time reading her, then your choice, but her previous workings were amazing and this was longly anticipated, so it fell so short of expectatations. Some parts made me wince and others triggered anxiety/PTSD but I feel like the writing style, the frustration with the side characters and the previous love for all prior books really made this book to be a poor experience. I found the decisions they made were completely stupid and not at all someone would do in that situatation(yes it's a book but the seriousness of the entire thing, you'd expect the characters not to be flaming idiots) so at the end, I didn't really care, I just wanted it to be over. In my opinion, you couldn't really get lost in the book.ĭespite the book being quite serious in terms of plot and theme, I found myself not liking any characters(other then William which I LOATHED so that's actually good). ![]() ![]() The theme of trauma is quite well represented but the impression you get off the blurb isn't what the book actually is about. Beautiful book, the cover and everything is just beautiful but the story was just.disappointing.Īs an avid fan to the point of buying the books as soon as they came out, this one paled in comparrision to her other books. ![]()

"A clever page-turner that I couldn’t put down."-Natasha Preston, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The book had everything I expected: fine prose, snippets of culture and history, a few youthful misdeeds here and there. At first I thought I was misinterpreting my own feelings. Well, to get straight to the point, even by the end of the introduction I found myself disappointed. ![]() The only book I can think of that holds comparable promise is Gerald Brenan’s South From Granada, which begins, similarly enough, with the young, bookish Brenan settling down in the south of Spain to read Spinoza. We have here all the makings of a literary adventure: an author sensitive enough to language and art to appreciate the finer points of culture, and impetuous enough to get into scraps and misadventures. The premise of this book could hardly be more promising: a naïve, bookish nineteen-year-old decides to walk from Holland all the way to Constantinople. When I began this book, I fully expected to join the universal chorus of praise. |
