Customer Reviews

Max and Sarah are still entertaining.

Even though this book is late in the series, it is still a decently entertaining read. Sarah and Max get pulled once again into the crazy world of Countess Lydia Ouspenska. This time instead of forging, she's taken up restoring-- working for an eccentric group of restorers who've patterned themselves on a Renaissance guild. The only trouble is that their treasures keep disappearing after the group has restored them. The Max and Sarah novels are characterized by their eccentricity and likable characters. It will never be mistaken for being thought-provoking, but it should prove a good way to pass a few spare hours.
