shezz's review against another edition
1.0
i couldnt read past 2 chapters, the narritave was way to descriptive and i found it really hard to connect to the storyline and what was going on. I tried twice to read it but it bored me and thats odd since i usually like reading on the historical part of a book but to me this was to long and i got lost a few times wondering if i was reading the same thing or something else.
not for the faint hearted but perberbly a good read for people who like long descriptions and narritives
not something id pick up again

A fairly disappointing read. There are moments of beautiful writing, but I felt like the story was overshadowed by needless descriptions/history (and I am someone who usually loves flowery, descriptive writing). This book is an example of it distracting from the world rather than adding.
An ancient Egyptian curse haunting a family, an abandoned castle in Scotland, the Loch Ness monster, a cartographer unraveling a mystery,, and of course, romance...this one should have been a hit for me.

The premise of the book was great but the execution could have been better. Too much repetition and too much time wasted on what amounted to useless information. I ended up skimming the book just to get to the actual story.
