review 1: This was a completely serviceable mystery story, but also not at all memorable. I think that some of the plot twists were interesting; I did not figure out the solution. I enjoyed some of the details in how this was written. Also, I appreciated that the author didn't fall for some of the easy endings in the relationships involved. However, the story takes place in Paris, and I didn't get a sense of place from the writing, which is too bad for me. Also, it occurs to me that I might like a more interesting character development than this book gave me.I wouldn't tell you not to read it, if someone dropped it in your lap, I'd just say it isn't worth searching out.
review 2: I found this book for free on Amazon and bought it based upon the title alone. I rememb... moreer watching a documentary in middle school about Nostradamus and have been intrigued about ever since. The premise of this book centers around a mirror that was once owned by Nostradamus that you could look into and see your future. This mirror is now being stored in a museum and various groups are trying to obtain it so they can see their future. The story takes place in Paris, it uses some French language and many Parisian settings but this will not take away from the story in any way but instead adds a sense of mystique to it. I realize this is the first in a series so we are introduced to many characters that will probably continue to be in the books which is a good thing since the characters are likeable. There is some personal emotional drama the leads are going through that do not get completely worked out but will probably carry over to future books. This is a stand-alone novel except for the personal lives of the characters so if you don't want to read anymore, you can still finish this book with a feeling of closure. Overall, this was a pretty good book and I would give it a 3.5 if possible. I liked it and if there were some of this series in the library I would probably read them but I just don't have the urge to buy any of them right now. That being said, this was a good book with a good mystery and I am glad I read it. less
