OK-- boredom was at a peak and I went ahead and read the 2nd book in this trilogy-- I'm getting extremely tired of having to buy/order 3 books when 2 would more than suffice (ie: The Hunger Games)! I'll say upfront that I do not like historical romantic fiction AT ALL so apologies to those who do enjoy it- this is just me,folks.
A BAD Book. This book was WAY worse than the first. I can only describe it as terribly TEDIOUS. The magical interest in the first volume took a backseat to a stumbling historical romance that was so interminable-- lengthy descriptions of clothing (& will they EVER have sex?), along with pointless mishmashed historical figures thrown hither and thither that I was skimming and skipping through the overlong 500+ pgs.to yet another unsatisfying cliff-hanging un-conclusion. Pointless, pointless, pointless.Few books ever actually bore me to tears but this one came right to the edge - the only thing stopping me was my new kitten with a kleenex fetish- pulls every last tissue out of every open box leaving me with no choice but to hold my sniffles of frustration. Even tho' I'll no doubt finish the series (my OCD insists,dammit!) I will definitely NOT be standing in line for a first copy--after reading this droning silly effort I'm perfectly willing to wait for a used paperback for .01 at Amazon.The last book will surely have to be better--couldn't be much worse.
