review 1: The characters in this book are very well written - complex, with back stories and motivations - and that made for an a decent read. Elianne waffles between strength and pawn and I wouldn't call her a heroine so much as the love interest - she's not a woman of action or determination so don't go looking for a strong female lead her. Her half brother is our antihero and is probably the most complexly developed of all the characters. Their father? An evil, raging, manipulative character who makes for an excellent villain. And Sir Josce, the other half of the love interest, is probably least complex of crew with his bastard heritage and honor and promises. My biggest problem with this book was the choice of "period" speech, mostly in the dialog. Lots of long sentences with s... moretrange constructions just to say, "let's go" or "I'm in trouble." The dialog was also well written and consistent, I just don't care for the antique-ification of speech as I find it distracting because it just sounds so fake to me. (Because it is an imagined mode of speech, but I'll avoid the rest of the linguistic rant.)
review 2: What I did like:Reading how Reiner screwed everybody (not in the sexual sense). He was a real piece of work.Important to note how others thought of Elianne and how her character progressed.Mystery behind the robberies.What I did not like:Lose of virginity was way ay ay too easy.Beatrice personality should have dictated that she was in the middle of the action with the other 3 main characters. Instead she was falling apart and in bed.Do the following words offend you? his manhood; nipple; breasts; shaft; nether lips. Well they are in the book. If not.....read on less
