Tekla

The reading is fine, if a little monotone, but the book is straight up terrible. Robin loses all semblance of a personality in favor of turning into Bella Swan, and drags the rest of the cast down with her. The most upsetting part is that because of the WWI setting, the lesson of the book winds up being: WWI was tragic because an insipid teenage girl lost her boyfriend. (SPOILER: Except that he turned out to be alive after all, and also spiritualism is right, so it wasn't actually tragic, really.) I've read and listened to a significant amount of FHB'S work lately, and this is the first real stinker. I'm seriously disappointed. Not only is the author generally one of my favorites, but the prequel, The Head of the House of Coombe is quite interesting. I recommend A Lady of Quality instead.

Having been dazed by the perfections of an angel throughout the book, she turns out to be an occultist in the end. It's like a work of Soviet propaganda. Disappointing for such a good writer.

all the books I've read or heard in librivox tell me what is the beauty of everything that is sacred to a true writers heart

Too long. Awkward story line
