wickedmitch 's review for:

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
2.0

It’s a shame to give such a low rating to a book with so much clear potential and passion behind it. However I feel like it warrants it because the author nests narratives in a way that is unnecessary and confusing, bogs down the plot with needless exposition and drags things out for far too long. As a result the plot which is actually solid at the core becomes almost lost in minutiae.
