The reading is fine, if a little monotone, but the book is straight up terrible. Robin loses all semblance of a personality in favor of turning into Bella Swan, and drags the rest of the cast down with her. The most upsetting part is that because of the WWI setting, the lesson of the book winds up being: WWI was tragic because an insipid teenage girl lost her boyfriend. (SPOILER: Except that he turned out to be alive after all, and also spiritualism is right, so it wasn't actually tragic, really.) I've read and listened to a significant amount of FHB'S work lately, and this is the first real stinker. I'm seriously disappointed. Not only is the author generally one of my favorites, but the prequel, The Head of the House of Coombe is quite interesting. I recommend A Lady of Quality instead.

(3,5 Sterne)

This book is not as awful as other reviews state. I agree with the occult stuff being a bit crazy but overall the book was good to listen to. One redeeming fact (if the occult stuff is over-the-top for you) is that the main character is a sweet and loving 18 yr old and after reading the previous book about her seriously neglectful mother (the child was almost six and she didn't even know what a mother was because hers was too busy partying and handed her baby over to the nanny as soon as she was born), the fact the girl grew up to be a useful loving creature is a miracle in itself.

Unexpected

(0,5 Sterne)

Having been dazed by the perfections of an angel throughout the book, she turns out to be an occultist in the end. It's like a work of Soviet propaganda. Disappointing for such a good writer.

Well, it's not as good as the first book. I think that Robin's mother was more interesting than Robin.

Too long. Awkward story line

(2 Sterne)

Unlike other stories I've read by this author. Hope this is an anomaly!

beauty unbounded by age

(5 Sterne)

all the books I've read or heard in librivox tell me what is the beauty of everything that is sacred to a true writers heart
