Three Fires

Three Fires by Denise Mina

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


*** Possible spoilers ***

This book is very short, more novella than novel. It takes place in the Middle Ages and frankly there isn't much to it. The writing is satisfactory and the plot, what there is of it, is pretty straight forward. It criticizes corruption in the Roman Catholic church prior to the reformation, religious fanaticism, and church politics. It was okay but if you like character development you won't find it here and even the plot is pretty bland. Frankly I'm not sure why the author bothered to write it unless he wanted to dramatize trends in society leading to the development of Protestantism.
