![]() ![]() In some ways it is very similar to the Silver Blade by Sally Gardner however, the difference is that the latter does communicate real excitement and feels historically accurate. I probably wouldn't read this again - it's just not my type of book. The ending brings a big (and nasty) surprise, but I won't spoil it by telling! With perseverance, the pace does pick up a little and the story becomes more interesting, though it could still do with more of the action the two would have certainly been caught up in. It is also rather slow to get going and I was very tempting to leave it after the first chapter. The book has a rather uninspiring cover and title. Also with a few basic changes, you could easily set it in during any period, even the modern day – I never felt I was living in wartime. The story's setting could lend itself to plenty of action and adventure, but disappointingly for me, it mainly concentrated on Arianne and Luc's relationship. ![]()
