review 1: I think I've read all of Louis Bayard's books. When I opened this one, I found myself relaxing into it immediately, the way you do when you recognize a good writer and feel you're in good hands. This book was perhaps a bit less high drama than some of his others, which I wouldn't say was a flaw. It felt quieter. I enjoyed it very much, despite guessing several aspects of the ending, and the secret, well in advance. But good characterizations, excellent research, and an interesting story.
review 2: Bayard writes so well that I really wanted to love this book -- I would love to have a new "go-to" author. The story is interesting, and it drew me in -- but I ended up disappointed as the unbelievable elements and characters started piling up. It became completely lu... moredicrous after a while. If he wants to write fantasy, he should write fantasy. If he wants to portray this world, he should keep it at least moderately believable. I won't be reading any more of his books. less
