4.0 out of 5 stars This was a slow but wonderful read., December 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Beauty of the Mist (Paperback)

This book was not as spectacular as McGoldricks other books since her heroine was not of the strong woman type. She has written a wonderful story but it lacks the punch of Angel of Skye or The Thistle and the Rose but still a good read because McGoldrick has the ability to craft a good story with great details and that great way she has of bringing other characters from other books into the one you happen to be reading. McGoldrick gets good marks for this one. Can't wait to read more by her!!

This review is from: The Beauty of the Mist (Paperback)

The story here is completely over the top, and suspension of disbelief is 100% necessary from the first page (which introduces a RUNAWAY Queen). However, while in some books that is annoying, esp. when the author is attempting to be historically accurate but is just not, in this book it does not matter. This book is a pure fairytale, from the characters to the plot, and it is really beautiful and enjoyable. It is entertaining, the dialog is really thoughtful, and there are enough plot twists to keep you riveted to the very last page. I have re-read it a few times now over the years, and its one of my favorites.
