so-soThis was such a tough book to finish. The change in storylines made it hard to keep track of the characters and I was irritated that the title character Ivanhoe was only a minor character until almost the end of the book. I loved the character of Rebecca, though. I think she was really the star of the book!
panNever have l read a more long winded sequence of pointless monologues as Ivanhoe. I don't care if it's the 13th century, 19th century or a Shonda Rhimes series — no one talks to each other in uninterrupted discourse that spans pages without reputiation by any characters present.
1. Ivanhoe
2. Grey
3. Agreeing
4. I would say Nessie, but she is real. I'll go with Ohio's own Mothman.
5. will do! 🙋

Seemed a fitting read for a trip up to Edinburgh. Let's hope it helps while away the hours.
For he that does good, having the unlimited power to do evil, deserves praise not only for the good which he performs, but for the evil which he forbears.
I just endured a truly awkward date ☹️ I'm so grateful for the book in my hand, the books on my shelf, and the books in my future 😊
