Representaion In Pursuance Of Books Sepulchre (Languedoc #2)

I n 1891, young Léonie Vernier and her brother Anatole arrive in the beautiful town of Rennes-les-Bains, in southwest France. They've come at the invitation of their widowed aunt, whose mountain estate, Domain de la Cade, is famous in the region. But it soon becomes clear that their aunt Isolde-and the Domain-are not what Léonie had imagined. The villagers claim that Isolde's late husband died after summoning a demon from the old Visigoth sepulchre high on the mountainside. A book from the Domain's cavernous library describes the strange tarot pack that mysteriously disappeared following the uncle's death. But while Léonie delves deeper into the ancient mysteries of the Domain, a different evil stalks her family-one which may explain why Léonie and Anatole were invited to the sinister Domain in the first place.

More than a century later, Meredith Martin, an American graduate student, arrives in France to study the life of Claude Debussy, the nineteenth century French composer. In Rennesles- Bains, Meredith checks into a grand old hotel-the Domain de la Cade. Something about the hotel feels eerily familiar, and strange dreams and visions begin to haunt Meredith's waking hours. A chance encounter leads her to a pack of tarot cards painted by Léonie Vernier, which may hold the key to this twenty-first century American's fate . . . just as they did to the fate of Léonie Vernier more than a century earlier.

Column Out Of Books Sepulchre (Languedoc #2)

Loved it! Read it years ago too.

Eh, I've read worse. But I've also read much better.Despite some intriguing motifs & settings, this book is bloated with extraneous detail & hampered by flat characters. Even the most dramatic moments never manage to engage the reader beyond a momentary blip of acceptance. Example: "Oops, that crazy dude is dead. Wait, what? You're saying some tarot cards & a vaguely-described devil killed him? ...Oh well." Somewhere in this book is a decent gothic novel -- but it's trying way too

ORIGINALLY POSTED AT Fantasy Literature.Kate Mosse's Sepulchre is a historical fantasy -- historical fiction with fantastic elements. I enjoy both genres, and this novel features a female graduate student (somebody I can relate to) as one of the main characters, and it's available on audiobook, so I thought it would be good entertainment on my commute. I got about ten chapters in before quitting.The book seems well-researched, is competently written, the tone switches easily and successfully

After labyrinth, this book was a kind of a major let down. All that information was also not new to me, as I have already researched quite a bit about Tarots. The information itself was pretty rudimentary, nothing deep or fascinating.The major problem with this work was that, Mosse clearly had a nice interesting vision or premise in her mind. She inept at transferring that vision to paper or else, her vision was as skewed as her tale. There was too much of repetetion, lots of cliches, very

This one has a good story even if some of the characters are annoying, and the problems they encounter would have been completely avoidable had it not been for their own stupidity. One such matter is how one of the main characters, Leonie, is treated like a child but tries to prove she is not a child by asserting her independence, and then is berated for "acting like a child." No, she is acting like a young woman who has not been told her family is in mortal danger. Also, Kate Moss uses a lot

A very well constructed series, this book is a 'can't put down' page turner, enjoyed every page. Not a disappointment as the 2nd in the series either. Read them all, it is worth it!

"Lovetrue loveis a precious thing. It is painful, uncomfortable, makes fools of us all, but it is what breathes meaning and color and purpose into our lives."The research done for this book is amazing. And because of that, the ambience is fantastic. It captured 1890s Paris with its equally beautiful writing stunningly. The character department didn't disappoint either. I felt for every one of them, and I must say that this has the most evil (though mortal) villain I've encountered so far.The
