amalinka 's review for:
The Shadow Land
by Elizabeth Kostova
Sometimes an author writes a book that is so good, so lyrical and well written that you wonder if they will ever top it. Ms. Kostova has surpassed her book The Historian. I actually didn't know that she could do that I loved the Historian so much but she has.
Without giving away spoilers, be prepared to be caught up in a world familiar yet so richly drawn it feels almost surreal. The use of verbal imagery in this novel made me long for it to go on and on and on.
One note: Not all of the characters are all that sympathetic or likable so if you are a reader who needs characters you can fall in love with, this is not your book.
