Review: Okay read, but too long
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 11 21, 2012
This book starts with an interesting premise - three parallel stories, the first set in the Middle Ages, the second during WWII, and the third in the present time. Each has it's own intrigues. The reader knows that at some point the stories will converge. But, the tale is too long in reaching this convergence (the present time story, in particular, drags) and the resolution is too facile. Everything falls into place too neatly. The story is well written, but has some strange sentence structures and lacks a sense of tension or urgency.
