Commentary Supposing Books The Burning Times

The year is 1357. The Inquisition rages throughout medieval France, searching ruthlessly for heretics. In an epic tale of passion, mystery, and unspeakable danger, one woman faces the flames...and triumphs.

Mother Marie Francoise, born Sybille, is a midwife with a precocious gift for magic -- a gift that makes her a prime target for persecution at the hands of the Church. She flees her village and takes refuge in a Franciscan sisterhood. Before long, Sybille's unusual powers bring her under the scrutiny of the Inquisition. Michel, a pious and compassionate monk sent to hear her confession, finds himself drawn more intimately into Sybille's life and destiny than either of them could have imagined.
Like a magician herself, Jeanne Kalogridis weaves a tale of star-crossed love, of faith and heresy, of mysticism and witchcraft, against a fascinating historical backdrop -- the Black Death, the Hundred Years' War, and the catastrophic defeat of France at the hands of the English. The result is a page-turning novel about one of the most intriguing periods in history.

Criticism Epithetical Books The Burning Times

First book I've read by this author. Most likely the last as well, although based on other reviews here, readers are saying this is not her best. I hoped for more. It was enough of a page turner to finish, but in the end it felt rushed, and there was definitely some laziness throughout, which is sometimes easy to find in the genres of magic and science fiction writing, as it is easier to get away with certain things because some suspension of disbelief is necessary for reading it in the first

An enchanting tale that mixes history and magic. Though I was slightly concerned the direction this story would take, as it takes place in southern France in the Medieval era, I was somewhat surprised by how events took place. Without a doubt, given the location and time period of this piece, the element of magic surrounded the worship of a Goddess figure. What remained of interest though was the nature of the relationship the two main characters had with the Goddess. While their stories

I've been a fan of Kalogridis' work since I started with her Diaries of the Family Dracul series and with very few exceptions I've been pretty pleased with her work. This is one of the exceptions.The premise is very interesting. Marie Sybille comes from humble enough beginnings; a midwife in medieval France. She, however, has a higher calling. She is a member of the Race...members of the Race are blessed with preternatural abilities. Telling the future, healing the sick...the types of abilities

Sybille was the secrets of magic and paganism by her grandmother. As times change, her kind of people are being arrested and she tells her amazing life story to the man who has to decide if she is a witch or not and will ultimately be deciding whether she lives or dies.This was a surprisingly good as I don't normally read this kind of book. Sybille was a character who used her power to help ordinary people so you were sympathetic to what was happening to her. You are caught up in her love for

The best historical novel of inquisition and sorcery that I've read. I love the story, the characters, and the prose. Awesome. It's a shame that her books not arrive to Chile. Definitely. But I want more about it, about inquisition, about pagan gods and monks with the need to investigate further.

I think I would give it 3 1/2 stars just for the first half of the story. I liked I Mona Lisa more, but the storyline of this was intriguing if a bit mystical and scattered. I have always been interested in stories of the witches beliefs and pagan goddess worship. It was kind of interesting how she tied in Christianity, judaism, and the goddess worship. I think that this one had promising parts, it just wasn't the greatest writing. It ended weakly and I have to say it was only an okay read.

From Jeanne Kalogridis, author of the Vlad the Impaler trilogy, comes a novel of medieval France, Burning Time. In this book many issues come to play: pagan ritual, magic, the Black Death, as well as an appearance from Edward the Black Prince during the Hundred Years War.Sybille is one of the Race, an embodiment of the pagan goddess Diana, who came into existence years before God, ad the two beliefs that exist in a world fighting for the belief in only one of them. Sybille has now been captured
