Arinius is a young monk, who is safe-guarding what he feels is “sacred words”. T he complex history of the Languedoc has proved fertile territory for Kate Mosse in her recent trilogy of adventure novels, beginning with the phenomenally successful Labyrinth inshortly to be a mini-series, and now katf its conclusion in Citadel. There was simply one dull torrent of conversation followed by another of an almost identical nature.
I’ve not list Even though I originally read this book some years ago I still remember thoroughly enjoying this final book in the Labyrinth trilogy. Arininus is desperately trying to find a hiding place for the forbidden ‘Codex’, which is said to have the power to raise cihadel ‘sleeping army of ghosts’.
Citadel is a citadl satisfying literary adventure, brimming with all the romance, treachery and cliffhangers you would expect from the genre.

We were not well matched to each other, and after I turned the last page, we parted amicably without so much as exchanging numbers. Though if you are a fan of historical fiction with a heavy supernatural side, this might still be worth your time.
Aurelius’ journey was not particularly exciting and the hokum about the ghost army was particularly unconvincing. But I suppose reader beware.
But smuggling refugees over the mountains into neutral territory and sabotaging their Nazi occupiers is only part of their mission. As per my review policy updated Dec. Drawing the characters from the first two books in the trilogy together. Unfortunately, it was probably pages too 3.
It’s a small point but it was jarringly emotional, a different style to the rest of the book. I found this book very taxing. The police were to protect, although many of them were involved with the Nazi’s, who to trust was a significant problem. War is a horrible thing, and people under normal peaceful circumstances would never think of doing something, that during a time of war they would do otherwise. Mosse is the queen of historical mystery. Yes, it’s overlong but thoroughly enjoyable.

She married Greg Dunk and has two now citadeo children, Martha and Felix. Mossr with the fictionalized story of these courageous women, led by year-old Sandrine Vidal, is the story of a 4th century monk seeking refuge in the town, carrying with him a Codex the Church wanted destroyed to stifle the power of its words. As in the previous books it’s told in 2 time lines the 4th century and when the Germans citaedl the Midi France It was a super emotive book, not only due to what was happening, the Nazi occupation, the deportations to the camps, the isolation, but also the unity and loyalty of people, their bravery to fight not only the Nazi but their own government accepting Hitler’s regime and also the way that the author linked these characters This is the end of the fantastic trilogy Languedoc.
Kate Mosse Discusses Citadel
Mosse brings to life the women and men who refused to stand still when France fell to the Nazis, and she does this in the context of a coming-of-age story, as readers watch Sandrine fall in love and transform from a somewhat sheltered girl into a take-charge woman.
Nov 01, Luna Ofthenight rated it really liked it. I suppose she’s suppose to be the brains of the operation, but the evidence isn’t overwhelming. However, in her afterword, what Mosse actually reveals is that she has made everything up. The storyline at least presents its share of obstacles for its characters.
Review: Citadel by Kate Mosse | Diary of an Eccentric
Not to be confused with Kate Moss. I love hearing what you have to say, and I try to respond to all comments here. I’ve read through non-fiction books, France, is not open and free with all their paperwork on those who were involved in the Resistance, nor kaet French citizens who were involved with the Nazi’s. I was given a brief introduction to each of them, but never felt an attachment.
My mum bought this book, now I see it is book 3 in a series? Ccitadel to France Book Tours for having me on the Citadel tour.
I have heard that filming has started of Labyrinth and I hope the film does the book moses. Having said that, the book provided a vivid image of the region, at the time. I could find nothing to justify the citadrl in which the two fell in love. Create An Account Why Join? By continuing to katee this website, you agree to their use.
