What did I
think of the Book?
Conspiracies and intrigue in 16th Century Spain...
This is one
of my most hotly-anticipated books of the year. Rich in historical detail with
a story line that is simply unputadownable, Flock, The Gathering of the Damned,
is an example of historical fiction at its very best.
Book 3 in
The Flock Trilogy picks up where Book 2 left off, and I found myself
immediately thrown back in the thick of the action.
This isn't
a standalone book, you do need to read the other two books to appreciate how
wonderfully compelling this story is. Set in 16th century Spain, during the
Spanish Inquisition, Flock, The Gathering of the Damned, is full of conspiracies
and plots. No one is safe, and everyone has their secrets.
Jana Petken
is not only a master storyteller, but her attention to the historical detail of
the era has to be commended. It is very obvious that Ms Petken has spent many
hours researching this period and this comes across in her writing.
As before, I
found the characters very well drawn. It was great to meet up with old friends,
such as David, but Ms Petken has brought new characters into the story, and
they slipped in as if they had always been there.
Reading
this book was effortless, it was like watching a movie, and I didn't notice the
time pass by while I was reading.
I cannot
recommend this series, or this book, enough. Fabulous, rich storytelling that
will leave you wanting more.
I Highly
Recommend.
