April’s Reviews > Isola > Status Update

The brooding malevolence of the Guardian is palpable and frightens even through the page. A master in all senses of the word. Poor Marguerite, his ward. She belongs to him, and all that she has belongs to him. All those around him belong to him. I wish I didn't know about the Isola. I read about the book before reading it. Best not to. Best to feel the lack of balance that Marguerite feels.
