Review: Noble Lies
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 11, 2013
This isn't the normal genre I read, but I found myself quickly trapped in this story of corruption and lies and heartache and love triangles and deception of the highest degree.  It's what I would consider a romantic historical suspense, I suppose.  It had everything.  The writing was fantastic, very detailed, providing plenty of background and history, as well as opening up the reader's mind for the deception that was about to occur- or rather had already been in play for several years.There are so many tragedies in this story, so much deep emotion to wade through- personal struggles, grief and lies.  Most of the characters were very strong, though some not so much.  Most were good and honest and trustworthy, and maybe a bit too trusting, while others were naive and others that were so very vile.There really isn't much I can say about the story without giving away spoilers, but I will try.  Set in what I would assume the distant past, kings and nobles, where the church holds power over the nobles and other citizens, marriage matches made between nobles shortly after birth, a false sense of security and what is right.  I also got a deeper, almost spiritual, feel from the book.  Faith and what so many go through to keep that faith.  Being tested by a higher power, and holding on to your beliefs, or finding new ones to keep you from falling apart, as many of the characters in this book did, some not surviving, others barely making it through.Review by Kendra of [...]
