Simon & Schuster Dark Tides: The compelling new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Tidelands

This is the sequel to Tidelands which was completely engrossing. I loved this story too - so much so that I read on into the wee hours, because I didn’t want to put it down. Finished the book in a matter of days as a result! Gregory writes so well. It is a romance story at heart but characters are intriguing and its set in a fascinating time of English history so well worth a read.

I love Philippa Gregory's books. I plan to read the three books in this series.

Este libro tiene un argumento no totalemente creible. Me ha gustado los detalles historicos mas que el argumento. Describe la vida de una familia por el rio Thames en Londres y tambien la vida de un seguidor de Oliver Cromwell que ha ido a Norte America. Esta parte del libro era muy interesante para mi.

Mind you, it’s a good read. Compared to many of her other novels, it lacks the same depth in the characters. Also, it has too many overly improbable developments, again on the level of human relationships. It’s due to this human element - not the historical part, which may be well researched - that I rate it only three stars.

great
