    A really enjoyable historical fiction with slight supernatural elements
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2021*

Many years after reading the first in this series, I finally caught up with this sequel (and then the third in the Languedoc series), and really enjoyed all of them. I give this book a big recommendation for fans of historical fiction, fans of books that have parallel stories in different eras, and fans of books with slightly supernatural overtones.The book begins in Paris in 1891, with 17 year old Leonie Vernier attempting to meet her brother Anatole at the premiere of Wagner's "Lohengrin," when French nationalists storm in with violent intent, and Leonie and Anatole barely escape with their lives; circumstances force them to run south to Rennes-les-Bains in the Languedoc region to stay (or hide) with their aunt Isolde in the mysterious estate known as Domaine de la Cade. The parallel story is set in 2007, with Meredith Martin traveling to Paris to gather information for her biography of Claude Debussy, when a clue sends her, also, to Rennes-les-Bains and Domaine de la Cade, since Leonie's time converted into a hotel resort, but with some strange connections to Meredith's own family. Both young women are caught up in discovering the existence of a mysterious Tarot set, realizing the cards' dangerous powers, and protecting the set from mysterious and nefarious antagonists.The plot was thoroughly enjoyable, showing the uncertainties, strengths, and bravery of young women, complete with impulsive choices followed by determined regret and learning from prior mistakes, and plot points were reached with regularity, so the book was engrossing as well as literary. Mosse has a real talent for detailed, literary descriptions of surroundings in all scenes, but especially of the geography, architecture, and feel of the Languedoc area of France. While I'm a fan of full fantasy novels, I know that some readers of historical fiction can be put off by including supernatural elements in otherwise mystery/thriller books, and while there were certain parts of this book that took on heavy supernatural overtones, readers should not be put off by that, as it mostly reads as a dual-timeline search for treasure and fight against criminal opponents. There were some plot points that I thought were overused (the "secrets = plot" trope, wherein main characters keep plot-generating secrets from each other for no good reason other than it creates plot) or out of place (Leonie forgetting her family's predicament and falling into puppy love upon one single meeting with the antagonist of that timeline, the otherwise well-constructed sociopath, Constant). But overall, the writing and the plot were a joy to read, and despite the length of the book, I made short work of it because it truly caught my attention.As a whole, the mechanics of the writing were exceptional, with a few errors that were glaring precisely because the rest of the writing was so good: some minor comma issues and split infinitives; the overuse and inconsistent use of either "couple/couple of" and "awhile/a while;" one particularly egregious use of "if the worst came to the worst." As a whole, though, Mosse's writing is top-notch, both in plot and in grammarian edits.I really liked this book, as well as its precursor and the third in the series. Big recommendation for fans of historical fiction with slightly supernatural elements.

    Fusion
  

*by Y***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2015*

Fusion is the current buzzword implying a blending of essences, be it people, places, religion, music, food, etc. Other such words include cusp, transition, morphing, etc. So fusion is a good word to describe this book: the spirits of characters across centuries are combined; times of days are often at sunrise or sunset; seasons are changing from one to the next; French and English are combined to produce Franglish expressions; you get the drift for this book. Now, did I like the book? I personally loved it! Not great literature, if you're looking at semantics, but it is a great story, featuring two sets of characters from two different time periods, but the same locations (predominately Paris and the Carcassone region of France). My problem with the book is this: I wish editors would include illustrations, where appropriate, for adult novels because this book really needs them. One of the main ideas of the story is the use of Tarot cards and its influence on others, if they believe in Tarot or not. Now, I happen to follow Tarot, and I believe the author did a commendable job of discussing Tarot in her story. But if you, the reader, know nothing about Tarot, you might just blank out at the passages that contain references to it. Now, if the author/editor/publisher, whoever, included the illustrations for the cards, the meaning might have been a lot clearer. In any case, for me it was a page turner.

    Tarot and History
  

*by B***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2009*

For those that have an interest in Tarot, history, the Church and the Cathars, this is a marvelous read. There is a dual storyline - following a sister and brother in the 1890's, and a young American graduate student in current times.I found the characters to be multi-dimensional, believable, and true to their times. So true, that there were some very scary moments in this book -scary because of the action, and scary because of the mindset of the people involved.I was impressed with the use of Tarot as a device to act as a cohesive element between the two timelines. The story begins with a Tarot reading, and the gift of a deck. It becomes magnified with strange books found in a family library, and the painting of a Tarot deck based on material in one of those books.Part of what kept me glued to this book was that it was based in France for both timelines. The French terms were not familiar, but they flowed so well that it didn't matter.In fact, the one character that I could not seem to connect with was the American  graduate student. Her character was well rounded, but just did not ring true for me.I loved the Tarot and esoteric content that was brought into this work, and highly recommend it. I am certain that I will read this book many times more - it takes me into a world that, while not all peace, is a fine place to be.
