A must read!

What a book! An amazing sequel to The Burning Chambers. The detail in the description is exactly what I have come to expect from Kate Mosse’s books and she did not disappoint with this one. I loved seeing Piet and Minou’s family grow. There was the same amount of suspense about whether and how things would work out for them all, and that suspense carried on right until the last chapter and even the last sentences. I cannot wait for the third instalment of this series and to find out more about what happens to they Reydon family and whether they can in fact live their lives in peace or whether trouble will always find them! A must read for anyone who is interested in historical fiction as it touches on some major events in history.

Kudos

On the outside I wouldn't have thought I would like this book. I'll sum up myself for you, History....(As Giles once said about Buffy. )"She lives very much in the now and well history is very much about the then" I do not have a love for history. I also do not have a love for science I just don't....This book though, I have nothing but love for! I absolutely adored Kate I find her wonderful and her and Matthews love is unbeatable. I loved the format and how some parts of the book are newspaper clippings and notes, I found this fun and enjoyable. Unfortunately I did find some parts confusing but that's because I am easily confused! Nothing reading some reviews won't clear up for me though! I can't wait to read the next one!
