Elizabeth B. (Cattriona) - reviewed on 10/22/2013 + 200 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 2

This was an interesting read. Though it is the last of a trilogy, there is enough descriptive material that, in most cases, not reading the first two books will not be an impediment to enjoyment. The characters are well drawn and the descriptions are vivid enough to allow you to smell the "merde" stuck to the common shoes in the stews of Paris. Despite the fact we all know how the story ends, the finale is still compelling. The only negative is that there is a lot of French language used, and not all meanings can be gleaned from context. Highly recommended for fans of historical fiction.
