kinosthesia 's review for:
The Historian
by Elizabeth Kostova
A good read, it certainly sparked an interest in me to learn more about the history of the Ottoman Empire and Eastern Europe. The story was intriguing, well paced and didn't rely on page turners to keep some tension. I did have a few problems with some phrases and expressions that just didn't quite work. eg: 'it weighed a fortune' and that one of a character's physical features was having an ironic face at least twice, but overall it was an enjoyable read and an interesting perspective on the Dracrula history.
