Brilliant can't wait till the third book next year !!!!!
*3.5 starsI came into The Daughters of Castle Deverill, the second book in a series written by established British author Santa Montefiore, having just read its predecessor, Songs of Love and War. Although it is not essential to have read the first book, Songs of Love and War, to enjoy The Daughters of Castle Deverill, I believe it enhanced my reading experience. It gave me a good handle on the characters and the scene that had been set. However, Montefiore does devote time in the Daughters of C...
When I read The Girl in the Castle I didn't know it was book one in a trilogy. That story ended well and didn't leave you hanging. Maybe one little mystery at the end but otherwise, it could have been a stand alone novel. It was quite a treat to find two more books were planned as I very much enjoyed the characters and plot.The next book is titled Daughters of Ireland and picks up where book one left off. The little mystery at the end of book one explains who bought Castle Deverill.The mai...
Absolutely brilliant!!! I loved the first book in this trilogy and wondered if the second would come up to standard. It did. And it surpassed it. All the characters from the first book are here with the addition of new off spring as the years progress. There are twists and turns aplenty. I gasped out loud so many times with all the surprises coming my way. But the end just beat all. When Bridie's daughter goes in search of her real mother, the twist was totally unexpected! And the meeting in the...
Already starting book 3...really enjoyed 1 and 2!
Book 2 in the series of 3; re Castle Deverill. Wonderful, unputdownable, beautiful twists and turns, excellent suspense, delightful prose and the characters are fabulous. The plots are at the edge of plausible. Ghosts - they work well in the story. Loved it.
Loved it! Montefiore does a great job of including pieces of background from the previous novel to ensure an easy transition for the reader. This novel was much more of a family saga than the first; with focus being placed on several members of the Deverill & Doyle families instead of mainly Kitty. Looking forward to the last and final novel of this series. 4.5 stars.
Really liked the book, starting to really dislike Kitty because she is a selfish, ungrateful twit. Once again the writing is lush and descriptive and pulls you right into the story almost as if you are there! I love all things Ireland anyway, but Montefiore's writing makes me want to pick up and move right now. Really need to get back there soon!! A lot of sadness in this book, but hope as well, although I have to say I do not like the Shrubs' storyline at all, nor the way Charlotte reacted to h...
At first, I felt like I was missing so many pieces of the puzzle. I jumped right into the deep end of the pool without floaties on. Who is this person, and this person? There is some kind of curse and the castle is doomed? There was a fire and EVERYONE is connected to everyone in some twisted way.WHAT the WHAT?Then I realized…this is the SECOND book in a trilogy. *facepalm*Sometimes second books can stand alone–this one, however, cannot. And there is no indication on the cover that this is part
I spotted this novel recently in a local charity shop and decided to purchase. My fault that I didn't realise that this is book 2 of a trilogy. Some books are easy to read as a stand alone, but found on this occasion that it wasn't so easy to pick up the story. I may purchase the first book sooner or later, as I do enjoy novels by this author.
I absolutely loved Songs of Love and War (5-star read for me) but this 2nd in the trilogy didn't captivate me as much as Love and War did. I had to skip over parts since they were quite dry and weren't keeping me turning the pages the way the 1st did. I found it to be quite predictable. I'm looking forward to the 3rd in the series and hope the storylines return to the captivating, page-turning ones like Songs of Love and War.
You wouldn't be interested in reading about the lives of three very different women living in Ireland with the Deverill Castle as the common setting? I was until I began reading The Daughter's of Ireland, at least that is what made me want to read the novel in the first place. To understand a few things, the novel takes place during 1925 to 1931 and involves the lives of three unusual women who have different motives for wanting essentially the same thing, true love and control. In the Edwardian...
