The Book was OK, leaning towards good. Here's how. The basic premise of the book is the search for the Grail (yes, another one!). Of course all ideas are original, just that some are rather less original than others. Keeping snide remarks aside, the book does have its strong points, and one must give credit where it deserves. Kate Mosse has successfully managed to weave a yarn, stretching over more than 800 years, involving some rather exotic themes and preparing a broth that at times looks like overkill. The story revolves around Alais who, towards the beginning of the 13th century gets involved in the safekeeping of the Grail, and Alice, who in the early part of the 21st century, stumbles (literally!) across the same. While the plot might look convoluted to many if not most readers, it certainly does manage to hold attention for a majority of the book's 500+ pages. But there are times when the author's attention to detail just doesn't sell. Also, the fact that the story involves latent memory, and some really long-living characters doesn't help either. All said and done, I would have loved this book if it had: - been about 300-odd pages in length, - avoided the 800-year time-span OR at least not drawn (unneccesary)parallels in the characters in the two eras Be that as it may, the description of France of the 13th century is quite beautiful, and this is one aspect where the use of ten words instead of five (as the Mosse is sometimes prone to using) indeed does justice to the reading pleasure. Also, character development is good and coherent. The war scenes are also well-written and tempered. The weakest link - the love story of Alice. I was taken off-guard when it happened.

I'm torn on my review of this book and the series. I think ultimately I really liked the series and I'm adding other books to my list that fall under the title of "Read these if you like the Hunger Games trilogy", but I had a hard time getting into this last book. This disappointed me as I always have super high hopes for the last book in the series and this one, like many others, did not meet my expectations. I can identify at least a few things that turned me off: 1. The "big picture" arc was inevitable with little or no unexpected results. In the first two books you are kept in suspense as to what will happen next and how the heroes will win, but this book fails on that front. I wanted my "It's a trap" from Return of the Jedi where you realize the good guys might get blown to smithereens just before the ewoks save the day... or something like that anyway. :) 2. The book was too much about our heroes' personal struggles to decide who likes who when everyone else is just trying to survive, which is what made the first two books better. The love interest thing is a great side story, but in this one is tried to be the main part of the story and it didn't work for me. 3. Too much writer's license with the positioning of key characters. Again, it fits in the first two books as there are game makers and it is in the arenas and/or part of the bigger game going on between the rebels and the capitol, but here it's too much. Blowing planes out of the sky with explosive arrows, holding the door putting everyone's lives in danger waiting for one character who went back for their cat, and the final position of that same character late in the book. Too much. I'll be interested to see how they handle this as a movie and what changes they make.
