I learned a lot about the religious wars with the Huguenots and the political intrigue that Catherine was a part of while her son, Francis, was king. I apparently started the series in the middle, and this seems to be a bridge book between the first and last in the trilogy. I will go back and read book 1 and continue book 3. The story was enough to hold my attention. Another great read in this series by Linda!! This book surrounded Rachelle's marriage to Marquis Fabian and how she had to fend for herself as he left to go on a voyage to blow up a Spanish supply company. You could really feel the pain for Rachelle after he left!! If you love 16th Century French History as much as I do than this series is for you!! Written on Silk for me turned out to be not as good as Daughter of Silk. I will probably eventually read the third in the series to have read it, but overall the book was a bit dragging to me. There were parts of it that stood out like the poor massacre of the Huguenots but over all it just seemed to be sluggish and drag. There were a lot of mentions of scripture of course, but this was to be expected given the subject material however I felt it might have been a little bit over done and rather than add to the story it started to sound a bit like you were being preached at. It is not a bad book just slow moving and I would have liked to see a bit more historical information put into than what was. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)The Silk House (2)
A royal wedding masks the unfolding of Catherine de Medici's murderous plot against the Huguenots. Will any of the Huguenot princes survive? Life and death rest with two people ... Rachelle Dushane-Macquinet, couturiere from a celebrated silk-making family, has come back to the Louvre Palais to create the royal wedding gown. Recruited into the evil Queen Mother's ring of women spies, she must use her wits to preserve her honor--and the lives of her fellow Huguenots. Marquis Fabien de Vendome has also returned from a buccaneering venture against Spain. The Queen Mother plans to implicate him in an assassination. But Fabien has designs of his own. A man and a woman caught up in history's deadly swirl and love's uncertainties seek to escape the venom of Madame le Serpent. Faith in Christ must uphold them, and all who stand alone, in a city gone diabolically mad. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
