Helpful Score: 1

I read The Historian a few years ago and loved it, not being a fan of vampires at all. It intrigued me so I was looking forward to a similar experience with The Swan Thieves, especially since I'd just read The Luncheon of the Boating Party, and the two books shared a similar theme.....art and French Impressionism. I also hadn't read a "big" book in a while and wanted to settle down with a nice, long story. Well, it was long. I did not like the pace of this book, the character of Mary, or much else unfortunately. I got to about page 350 and started skimming to get to the end. A friend at the library told me the mystery did get resolved, so I plowed ahead and finished but was glad to be done with it. It makes me want to re-read The Historian to see if I had a lapse of taste....or the author did.
