Описи Львова 1939-1840 цікаві, але ліниво зроблені «щоденником» головного героя. Сюжет поки що ніякий. Але ж який автор зневажливий до жінок, фу!

Bonaparte: I have been fighting battles and waging wars in one form or another for thirty-five of my forty-six years. I doubt Wellington, with whom I share the same year of birth, has been at it half that length of time, yet he has already declared his desire to live quietly and anonymously in some small village in the English countryside. — яка прикольна цікавинка

Isadora was certain that if she could tell you all about what it meant, there would be no point of dancing it.

It took some time to get into it, but now we’re rolling!

The views on who he was and what he meant to history were as varied as the stars

This is Black’s insignia. He left his bloody calling card — перша асоціація: візитка Яроша

Остін, буває, влучно описує характер і вчинки цих героїв, але все одно не можу сказати, що мені подобається ця книга

At this point it seems the late Pope is manipulating the Conclave from beyond his grave

…let me tell you that the one sin I have come to fear more than any other is certainty. Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance… Our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand in hand with doubt. If there was only certainty, and of there was no doubt, there would be no mystery, and therefore no need for faith.

Kyiv not Kiev, книга була вперше опублікована у 2016 році, можна вже було і правильно написати

…privately he thought the late Pope had occasionally gone too far in his endless harping on about simplicity and humility. An excess of simplicity, after all, was just another form of ostentation, and pride in one’s humility a sin.

The novel was written by a teenager and it shows: because the book only tells, tells, tells

Loretta Chase’s debut book. Now I see how much more masterful her later stories are

Such a convoluted timeline
