Now I really know I need to read it when you mentioned The Thirteenth Tale. I was supposed to read it in time for Rebecca and Nicole’s show but I’ve been stuck in a reading rut. I will read this soon. Great review.

I am pretty certain that when I do finally get around to reading Sarah Waters I will really like her writing. Every time I read a review such as this that feeling grows stronger! One day I will act on it.

I’m really intrigued by this one. But I’m never quite sure what to make of books that leave me hanging.

Just finished reading this, your right some bits are long winded. It kept me reading she has a great story telling gift though likes to leave you hanging at the end wondering if its over and you don’t always get the fairy tale, or rather ending you want or expect. I have read a couple of her books and that is her style. Best was Fingersmith, lots of twists and turn. The most annoying (the characters) was The Night Watch, which was the first of hers I read and it put me off her for a while. Keep reading
