Marginally better than the Divinci code this book is another contrived "look how these two stories run together" spoon feeding plot progression that allows you to figure out the big twist at the end about a hundred pages before it happens.
pass.
pass.

The characters were insanely boring, although the story was good. There was also way too much French in it, which was unnecessary and certain things were far too descriptive for no reason. It just made for a very jarring read. After a while it was unbelievably tedious to continue and I simply had to put it down.

This is the second time I've read this novel and it was just as good as I remembered.
I really love time slip novels, particularly when the stories mesh together well as they do in this novel.
All the characters were well written and this was a real page turner.
5 stars from me.

I picked this book up about a year ago from a local used bookstore solely based on the fact that archaeology was mentioned in the synopsis. BOY I did not expect to fall so deeply in love with this book. Having not heard anything about these books I was worried, but it did not dissapoint.
The whole time reading this it gave off Dan Brown's Angels and Deamons with the whole searching for the Grail thing, but I read this before any of Dan Brown's books so now I will be comparing all of his works I read in the future to this.

This book was somewhat slow to start but definitely picked up. I really liked the way it jumped back and forth between the two timelines. Each time it switched I was so engrossed that I was disappointed but it wasn't long before I'd be just as into the next storyline. I loved how the stories intertwined and the writing and plot were rich and intriguing. The story definitely portrayed a new and interesting take on the Grail, but without taking away from the characters who were central to the book. I would recommend this book and I am looking forward to read her next book.

Meh. The concept could have been interesting, but the author doesn't quite pull it off here. Disjointed and illogical.
