review 1: I wanted to like this novel a lot more than I actually did. I will say, the second half picked up.. but the main character irritates me, with her constant repetition of her "dark nature", "dark profession", the "darkness inside me." I struggle to come to terms with the fact that she's a woman, employed by the Pope to protect him and do away with his enemies, and by her own admission she knows very little of healing substances or the opiate powder she abuses. How can someone be skilled in substances but be so lacking in those areas? She's just not really believable to me..
review 2: Is this the last book in this series? I am sure it isn't but I wish it was. I'd be perfectly happy if this series ended right here. Yes, the main conflict hasn't been resolved, t... morehere are many loose ends, etc. But I don't think Poole should have dragged this on for this long.While this book is vastly better than the second, it definitely is not on the level of the first. I still do not enjoy Francesca's character, however, some of her circumstances intrigued me, especially her history. While a lot of if it was predictable, I read purely for the fact of reaffirming my suspicions.The worst thing is that I've invested so much time reading this series that I just have to see it through. I guess I'm hoping for it turnaround but I don't think it will. less
