Book Reviews of Beguiled
Book Review: Surprisingly Good Sequel!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the sequel to Devoted, Alice Borchardt's historical novel set in medieval France. In this installment, Elin is left to defend a the city of Chantilon which is besieged by Vikings while her common-law husband Owen (A bishop), seeks help from his family. Can Owen save his city or is it doomed to fall into the hands of Haakon and his band of evil raiders?
I really enjoyed the audio narration of Beguiled. Borchardt really made early France come alive in this surprising narration of murder/mystery/and romantic suspense. In particular, I like how she handles such a large cast of characters, and still manages to keep things interesting. There are precisely three main story plots going on in this book. Owen's Quest. Haakon and Elspeth (the pseudo-villains), and Elin and her group. Somehow, Borchardt manages to keep all three stories interesting (although I admit I was less interested in Owen's issues than in the other two). I also thought Borchardt did an excellent job of portraying the redemption of a few of the most evil characters (such as the berserker).
My only peeve? I felt that Owen, was a little boring. Thank god for his Saxon sidekick or I might've fast-forwarded his scenes. He was a good character... But a trifle wooden. I highly recommend the audio version which was quite well narrated. Well worth the price as there are MANY hours of listening.
