Labyrinth 174 reviews Kate Mosse

Couldn't put it down!
+ Engrossing historical thriller + Not bad for historical fiction
This book was a very good read, I couldn't put it down. Kate Mosse has also written Sepulchre which is equally good.

Luna, 2007
Loved It!
+ Amazing! + Protector of the Flight (The Summoning, Book 3)
A bit cozier than the two previous books in the series but no less enjoyable. Definitely more character driven, the story delves deeply into the thoughts and emotions of the two main characters - Calli and Merrec. Everything from past horrors, childhood trauma, and the strain of marrying a stranger ...

Tor Books, 2006
Great continuation of Old Man's War
+ Life with purpose + I hope there is more for years to come!
I loved Old Man's War (who over 50 would not- great premise made into a great adventure with lots of action and suspense) and this one continues with more character development and poses good questions that are answered in the next book*****

It was an entertaining read, no question about it. Seemed Elmore Leonard influenced. Perhaps the ending was a little tidy, and there was another scene or two that seemed a little pat, but I appreciate a book that can keep me glued to it and after mid-way I pretty much was. Not that the beginning ...
