judyrigby's review against another edition
3.0
Gemmell's style is literary and poetic with beautiful phrases and sentences. She almost reinvents the language as she tells her story so that I often found myself pondering this or that image. But it becomes too much of a good thing; the language slows down the story and takes a long time to reveal it. Perhaps that says as much about me as reader as it does about the story-telling, but I became impatient to get to the heart of it and when it came, I felt somewhat let down.
