It's a shame because I loved Buffy so much, and I would love to read/watch something similar but all the lead female characters always end up being a bit drippy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357586756086445184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281628592870279021.post-43230361661645208302012-11-22T20:49:10.310+00:002012-11-22T20:49:10.310+00:00You do have a point - it's got the Dan Brown a...You do have a point - it's got the Dan Brown annoyingly page-turnable factor, I suppose! Maybe I was a bit harsh in condemning it below two stars :)<br /><br />Marlowe is really annoying (well, all the characters are) and there's not much of a feel for Elizabethan London at all (or there wasn't for me). The strong sense of place was one of the few things I liked about the first book, and that seemed to me rather absent from the second.wonky_monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350002483830686210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281628592870279021.post-19871221341481542872012-11-22T19:28:46.955+00:002012-11-22T19:28:46.955+00:00I was a bit tempted by the sequel because I have a...I was a bit tempted by the sequel because I have a love of Shakespearean London and especially for Marlowe (whom I think makes an appearance) but I have resisted thus far. I think I felt that as I hadn't given up in disgust and actually finished it meant that the book did something right and probably would appeal to others if not me, hence 2 rather than 1 or 0.

I also was acutely embarrassed that I read that book, and I would similarly find it almost impossible to write a review without ranting about how bad it was. I think your rating was rather generous!!<br /><br />I am very ashamed to admit that I read the sequel (I had the 'flu and needed something to distract me, that's the only excuse I can offer).
