Chronicle During Books Sepulchre (Languedoc #2)

I n 1891, young Léonie Vernier and her brother Anatole arrive in the beautiful town of Rennes-les-Bains, in southwest France. They've come at the invitation of their widowed aunt, whose mountain estate, Domain de la Cade, is famous in the region. But it soon becomes clear that their aunt Isolde-and the Domain-are not what Léonie had imagined. The villagers claim that Isolde's late husband died after summoning a demon from the old Visigoth sepulchre high on the mountainside. A book from the Domain's cavernous library describes the strange tarot pack that mysteriously disappeared following the uncle's death. But while Léonie delves deeper into the ancient mysteries of the Domain, a different evil stalks her family-one which may explain why Léonie and Anatole were invited to the sinister Domain in the first place.

More than a century later, Meredith Martin, an American graduate student, arrives in France to study the life of Claude Debussy, the nineteenth century French composer. In Rennesles- Bains, Meredith checks into a grand old hotel-the Domain de la Cade. Something about the hotel feels eerily familiar, and strange dreams and visions begin to haunt Meredith's waking hours. A chance encounter leads her to a pack of tarot cards painted by Léonie Vernier, which may hold the key to this twenty-first century American's fate . . . just as they did to the fate of Léonie Vernier more than a century earlier.

Criticize Containing Books Sepulchre (Languedoc #2)

Thank goodness it's over. Léonie has to be one of the most irritating female characters I've read in a while: she wants to be considered an adult (being a 17-year-old girl in France in 1891) and yet consistently behaves like a child. When she is caught and (rightly) chided, she throws a tantrum worthy of a toddler. Every time, up until the last 50 or so pages, only a chapter is devoted to her actual emotion growth--which would have made a far more interesting story. Even Léonie's aunt Isodel had

Music, Tarot cards, Victorian Paris, and the supernatural. Nice combination. Add family saga and youve got a winner for my money. Mosse alternates a highly detailed (overly so) saga of Leonie Vernier and her family (1890s) with the modern day Meredith Martin (2007) who is researching the biography of Claude Debussy. I found this back and forth between these two time periods to weaken the story and suspense because the Meredith storyline was so boring. And the constant backstories and long

The things I didn't like about this book far oughtweighed the good that there was in it for me, I liked how it was based around a fictional tarot, characters included a violinist and an archaeologist (I like reading about what I do, then who doesn't?). I got it in easons on the 7.99 table on the premise of it being cheap, & that I liked the idea of it. Quelle erreur! the description at the back was misleading. Characters contradiciting themselves frequently; there were many instances that



ORIGINALLY POSTED AT Fantasy Literature.Kate Mosse's Sepulchre is a historical fantasy -- historical fiction with fantastic elements. I enjoy both genres, and this novel features a female graduate student (somebody I can relate to) as one of the main characters, and it's available on audiobook, so I thought it would be good entertainment on my commute. I got about ten chapters in before quitting.The book seems well-researched, is competently written, the tone switches easily and successfully

A surprisingly quick read, despite the thickness of the book! Sepulchre is quite entertaining and I actually enjoyed it a lot more than Mosse's first book, Labyrinth. That said, the plot is a bit clumsy sometimes and the present-day heroine is not a very interesting character. One more thing: there are so many mistakes in the French text that I'm wondering if anyone actually copy-edited the book (if they did, their French is obviously very poor!). There are also quite a few clichés about life in

A very well constructed series, this book is a 'can't put down' page turner, enjoyed every page. Not a disappointment as the 2nd in the series either. Read them all, it is worth it!
