Having picked this book up second hand for $2 i thought that I'd give it a go; a mistake. It was adequately written but not remarkable. The characters were either cardboard cutout stereotypes or just uninteresting. Sadly even the sex scenes were dull, written in that "fluffy" manner that typifies some styles of writing. That, plus the other flaws of the plot, characterisation and writing, coupled with seemingly gratuitous violence left me unable to finish the book and utterly uninterested in what happened to the characters.
I loved this story. The whole trilogy was fabulous. The way the author wove in the colorful, grandeur, and beautifully detailed history of Rome in the dark ages with the ancient folklore of shapeshifters was enchanting and mesmerizing.
A complete story filled with full action, drama, suspense,(warning***some sexual content and obscene language), and of course a beautiful love story. Alice Borchardt's writing is captivating and prose-like at times, and yet, at others very true to the times and crass when appropriate. I felt like I was there witnessing the events in person. Borchardt took me to another people, place and time and I love it when a book can accomplish that. A very great read!
