Review: Intriguing political novel
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 25, 2013
I found the setting of the book to be very informative as it takes place during the Lebanese Civil War. The descriptions of that time and place and events were so well done, I really want to do more research on those events. The characters were well-rounded, flawed, and realistic, except maybe for the bride, Muna, who did not seem as well developed as the other characters. The book was a little confusing at first as to what was going on, particularly the political intrigue, but I found out that this is the second book in the series, which explains the confusion. I really enjoyed this book, and I am looking forward to reading more by this author.
