"I tried to give this a re-read, but it was just too ... something. Dense perhaps. Also, this time I know how it ends. :/ (And given that this is historical fiction, apparently this is one of the cases where that matters.)"

"I think I'm spoiled by all of the fantasy/horror/scifi I've come to expect from Tanith Lee. While her writing is still wonderful, I kept remembering how much I suffered with A Tale of Two Cities."

"Just started this book, Tanith Lee is a dark author, which I like, so this should be good.

11-28-07 - so far so good. Lots of interesting information about the French revolution and the personalities and events that shaped it.

08-11-08 - This was a slow read for me, because it's a very long book, with many characters, that covers alot of material. Even though it's a little slow in some places, I really like the over-all composition and writing. Tanith Lee does a very good job of making her characters stand up and come to life.

The events of the French revolution really highlight the importance of freedom of the press and personal rights. In comparison with the American revolution, it's amazing how disastrous the French revolution was. It certainly wasn't a failure, but there was a much higher cost to the country than was probably necessary."
