Labyrinth
I’ll just state straight out that I did not like this book. I didn’t hate it, but reading it was a chore every step of the way.
Labyrinth by Kate Mosse is a long, long book. Almost 700 pages. Unnecessarily long. Mosse likes to describe every bloody thing in the book. Every flower that the main character Alais looks at, from its colour to the way it slopes in the wind, is described, and I just don’t care.
It’s a semi-interesting story. The bandwagon plot of protecting/discovering the Grail (authors really need to stop with this one now). It really only gets good in the last 100 pages, and the whole story could have been told in that space.
It’s small positive parts are heavily outweighed by the crap. The length, the predictability, the stupid parallels (Alais/Alice, please). Not recommended.
