Languedoc #1

Labyrinth

In the Pyrenees mountains near Carcassonne, Alice, a volunteer at an archaeological dig, stumbles into a cave and makes a startling discovery-two crumbling skeletons, strange writings on the walls, and the pattern of a labyrinth. Eight hundred years earlier, on the eve of a brutal crusade that will rip apart southern France, a young woman named Alais is given a ring and a mysterious book for safekeeping by her father. The book, he says, contains the secret of the true Grail, and the ring, inscribed with a labyrinth, will identify a guardian of the Grail. Now, as crusading armies gather outside the city walls of Carcassonne, it will take a tremendous sacrifice to keep the secret of the labyrinth safe.

mam wrażenie, że tam nic się nie działo, a większość wątków i główny cel tej książki (zakładając, że jakiś istniał) nie miał większego sensu. do ostatnich stron nie było wiadomo o co tak dokładnie chodzi i dlaczego te księgi są takie ważne i każdy chce je zdobyć i to nie w tym dobrym sensie. po prostu już chcesz zrobić fikołka, bo znowu cofamy się do średniowiecza i masz do przeczytania dziesięć rozdziałów o wojnie i heretykach

Wszystkiego po trochu - trochę historii, trochę intryg, trochę tajemnicy, no i trochę irytujących postaci. Ale generalnie - spoko czytadło. Mocne 3,5
