Review: The Echo of Old Books - I gave this books 5 Stars despite having one negative to share, so I'll get that over first. I LOVE the storyline! Even though I don't care for multiple storylines & multiple protagonists, that doesn't stop me from reading such books. I really DO think this group of story lines work well together, however it felt as if it was stretched a bit, as if to make it "fit" something specific. Partly I'm sure this was to fit the different storylines together, which I understand, but it just seemed to me that some things could have been blended more smoothly to make reading more concise, to remove redundancies. Other than that, as I said, it's a great read! The multiple storylines are handled MUCH better than most books of this sort that I've read, especially with the number of storylines!! The characters are well written. There were times I thought, "Hmmm, I must have been mistaken in how I saw this person!", only to quickly see that I WASN'T wrong at all! The "villains " are relatively easy to spot, & the "good guys" easily became my new friends. There is a quote from Ashlyn, at the beginning of Chapter 14, that could have come straight from my heart: "In the happiest times of my life, I have reached for my books. In the saddest times of my life, my books have reached back." This is one of the books which will reach back, sometime in my future! I highly recommend this book to readers of Historical novels, Romance, & even Mysteries, though it isn't a mystery per se.
Review: ALMOST perfect - The only reason I'm taking a star off is because I felt Ashlyn's story was rushed and an afterthought. I felt this book had very little to do with her and I was surprised how much time we spent on Belle and Hemi. That said! The author did a masterful job of putting us in each character's shoes! It was brilliantly written! I was on Belle's side, then I was on Hemi's side, then I was on Belle's side again! Each twist was not too predictable but not out of left field. The story hooked me and wouldn't let go. It was also an interesting look at history. I had completely forgotten the pro-Nazi sentiment among some Americans; it was timely with what's going on in our country now. So the story has history and so much angst and tension and romance! But it was also supposed to have this magical realism bent that lent almost nothing to the story. I was only disappointed that we didn't get more of Ashlyn and Ethan. But otherwise, a truly engaging book! Lots to discuss in book club!!
