Each book is a masterpiece: the"Rebel Angels" is a fascinating novel with a powerful intrigue where alchemy, greed and comedy brush elbows. The characters are truly extraordinary in their eccentricity. What is bred in the bone is a biography of sort, the corner stone of the trilogy, a deep dive into art, truth and illusion. The Lyre of Orpheus closes the trilogy with some resolution for some of the characters but also with an incredibly entertaining foray in the world of music. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/231580?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
