I just plain did not like this book. It is the first one by Coulter to disappoint me. Parts of it felt like it was made up as she went along. A lot of it did not even make sense and was not very interesting either. I think this was her first foray into supernatural, mystical, woo- woo type stuff. She should stick to what she knows.

I'm a huge Catherine Coulter fan but I really struggled to get through this book. I think the description of the book sounded a lot better than it actually was. I liked the characters but you missed out on some of the interaction with them when you're trying to figure out what the heck she's talking about in regards to the "centuries-old mystery". It was like she was trying too hard with that part of it that was just too over the top to be believable and even enjoyable.

I know writing a review like this probably lessens my chances of offing this book on some other hapless reader, but I honestly cannot believe Catherine Coulter gets PAID to write. This is the second book of hers that I've tried (I like romance books, after all). My conclusion based on two of her novels is that her characters are vapid, one dimensional, and unrealistic. Her plots are loosely tied together... at best, at worst, they are rambling, unintelligible, and impossible to believe. The fact that somebody actually thinks she is talented enough to continue publishing her tripe is beyond my understanding.

A romance novel that is kind of fantasy/period romance as well. I enjoyed it immensely because I also love fantasy. This is part of a series by the author, but if you have not read the previous books ypu will still understand the story.
