A review by eupomene
The Glass Butterfly by Louise Marley

2.0

I am a big fan of Marley's TERRORISTS OF IRUSTAN and CHILD GODDESS, so I was surprised at how disappointed I was in GLASS BUTTERFLY. I found the two stories within it really didn't hang together - it didn't make sense that they should be woven together in such a manner. The contemporary story needed a major brain check at the door as I just couldn't believe Tory's flight from danger and reinvention of herself could happen in that way. The historical bit was more interesting, and I might have enjoyed it more if that was fleshed out into a novel, without the contemporary piece.
On the other hand, her writing is still lovely and I always love a good starting-over tale. I just might stick with her fantasy.
