Title: Ugh
Review: While this book is, at its best, interesting, it is mainly a mire of predictability and has an overpowering sermonic bent. Sister Fidelma is written as being almost superhumanly righteous. It's quite difficult to like her. The adoration of her ethnic background is heavy-handed. The behaviour of the characters is definitely a bit modern for the time setting. Sister Fidelma is apparently a 17th century Catholic, but her views really seem to differ quite strongly from the religious standard of the day. Peter Tremayne, however, shows some promise as a writer. The book was quite readable, just improbable, and irritating at times.
Is the review positive or negative?
