A review by muddypuddle
The Book of Blood and Shadow by Robin Wasserman

3.0

I really liked the first part of this story, but it got more and more convoluted and complicated once the teenagers went to Prague. Relationships were explored nicely until Nora and Max were identified as a couple...and that's the problem. Their whole relationship was only identified, never really fleshed out, never SHOWN, only told about. It wasn't believable, though most of the rest of them were. Much of the book was letters written 400 years ago in Latin, translated by the protagonist. She was able to glean a lot of information without giving enough clues to the reader. It was just too sketchy in a lot of places, and left me with a ...what???.... feeling.
