Labyrinth- Kate Moss

This review is from: Labyrinth (Trade Paperback)

4 years ago

This is the type of book I read and deem it mediochre until I get to the end...And the ending is just so beautiful and cumulative that it was worth reading after all and it will be much greater the second time around when I can see where it's going. Pros were Lovely heroines, evil detestable she-devil villains, utterly fall head over heels in love with heros and the sweetest love story I've seen in a while.. Cons were the needlessly ugly angry gag reflexing sexual content and equally needless… + read more

***UGH Painful***

5 months ago

I love long books. I love strange or even medieval settings in a book. But this was painful. Before reading the book flip to the acknowledgements in the book. There Mosse thanks her "patient" editor. I say her "patient and fully useless" editor. Aren't editors supposed to make suggestions to limit redundant sentence structure and description? At one point the author is describing the main character going down the hall to the spy on someone and every aspect of the hall is described but to no… + read more

Very Interesting

This review is from: Labyrinth (Hardcover)

4 years ago

I found this novel really interesting as it flipped back and forth between the past and the present. The storyline is somewhat difficult to follow through the first three quarters of the book - but that last quarter makes it all worthwhile. The ending pulls it all together and finishes the story. Anyone who likes a nice long read with a great ending should read this book.

great book

13 months ago

I read sepulchre first and I think it made me appreciate the plot of labyrinth more because the plots intertwine. I felt connected to the characters and really enjoy the way she works in the present day and the characters from the past. It is an interesting read and you have to pay attention to details while you read or else you might miss some important information. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading.

Escape and learn through time!

14 months ago

I discovered Kate Mosse by hazard ! Was looking to read something different, I like history but through novels ... and I didn't know what to expect. To my surprise it was a refreshing book, intelligent, full of information about the South west of France historically. You can tell the author has a passion for this region of France and she really did research about it. I recommand it if you like to travel through time, and learn some french history.

Disappointing

2 years ago

Don't believe the cover blurbs. Not worth the time. Long, drawn-out, disjointed & poorly written to the point that I laughed out loud at it several times. The only good part is the well- researched history of the Cathars.

Wasted two weeks of my life...

2 years ago

Like the first reviewer, I picked this book up from Chapters because I was looking for something thick to read. "Labyrinth" disappointed me greatly. All the characters, especially the "heroines" are extremely flat and two dimensional... I find their reactions to the perils they had to face HILARIOUS. The villains were no better. If you want a good history conspiracy novel, do NOT waste you life on this. If you want a melodrama/noir novel with some deaths involved, try this one.
