A look at Carcassonne during the Crusades February 22, 2010
hornist (Chatham, Ontario, Canada)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Labyrinth was an enjoyable read. Kate Mosse found a way to successfully link the past (1200s) with the present and make it believable.
Labyrinth follows the life of Alais Pelletier du Mas in the early 13th century and her plight in Carcassonne during the Crusades as she attempts to fulfill the tasks set before the Noublesso de los Seres. The book looks at various religions of the day, paying particular attention to Catharism.
Kate Mosse successfully intertwines Alais's life with that of Alice Tanner of present-day England, who is destined to assist in protecting the secret of the labyrinth. Although Alice's quest begins by unknowingly stumbling upon a cave during an archaeological dig outside Carcassonne, her role slowly becomes clear as the plot unfolds.
This masterfully-written book soon drew me in and kept my attention through to the surprising ending. I learned much about life in present-day France in the 13th century as well as the history of the Crusades. Truly an enjoyable as well as educational read.
Labyrinth-another Holy Grail legend February 13, 2010

When I first bought it, I was drawn to it because of its connection with the Holy Grail. Also, it's funny that it's written by someone with a name same as the glamor model(Kate Moss).
Similar to the Da Vinci code, it is a fiction about the Holy Grail but it takes a different angle on the matter and focuses more on the medieval Europe with accounts of the Holy Crusades.
The first 200 pages(only 1/3 of the book) could be boring as the crucial hint does not appear until half way of the book. When reading it, you keep switching between events that occur 800 years ago and in the present time-but the past and the present characters are connected!!!
Having sustain the first half, in the second half you will find yourself drawn to it. Personally, I could not put it down after the first half as every chapter leads you closer to the ultimate mystery. Secrets are reviewed as you go along and the idea of linking the Grail legend with Ancient Egypt is great.
 Another great book. Arrived very quickly. February 11, 2010

I was so much looking forward to this book. Unfortunately the story is very predictable, and the writing is flat. I lost interest half way, and would not recommend it.
 fabulous tale but.... December 28, 2009

this is a fabulous story which is enchanting to read, however it takes getting use to the style of writing where two seperate story lines run along together and bounce about. nevertheless once your use to the writing style, its a fantastic, full of twists, romance, debauchery, fairytale, modern and intriging story to read.
I really enjoyed this book, and my friends have too.
