Review:Loved the first book but this one bogged down for me a bit. Too much time spent on politics and not enough on the main action. Prince Nikolai was a great addition but he just made Mal seem like a dud in comparison, and there wasn't enough emphasis placed on his potential match for Alina. All in all, I found myself skipping ahead hoping for something to latch onto. Read more

The far left political elite are doing their best to undermine the basis of the amer... Read more

The main plot kept getting delayed by this thing or another and was then diverted by other characters and their introductions. It was like a book of 90% filler and only 10% actual plot.

Clipped and Jarring
This is likely just a writing styl... Read more

Review:This is long since recognized as a book that'll last and forever define its author, and I won't review it just to fawn at the shrine. I will, though, warn you not to become intimidated.
This isn't the daunting challenge some reviewers make it out to be. Name of the Rose is an engaging read, and you don't need to become bogged down trying to completely understand the religious and political subtexts in order to appreciate it. It's a splendid, enjoyable book if you approach it as one. Nobody's ... Read more

Review:Very good. Fun book some sexual tension. So political tension. Lot's of just life tensions. The Heroine is kind, caring and torn. The sub hero's are as honorable as they can be given the circumstances. Just a good fun read. Read more

Review:I loved reading this story as it was quite different from the usual historical stories. I loved Charlotte 's character and I felt so part of the story that I personally wanted to make the attorney pay for his misdeeds! Read more
