The Swan Thieves
by Elizabeth Kostova
Unfortunately disappointing(9/29/2010)
I suppose after the success of The Historian, my expectations were quite high, as I am sure were those of other fans of Kostova's debut novel.
Unfortunately, I found the characters in The Swan Thieves rather uninteresting, and really didn't care about any of them. Her prose …more is dull, unfocused and tedious, and I found it difficult to get through each chapter.
