Publisher Description
The third book in the wildly romantic Gabriel's Inferno series by Sylvain Reynard, following on from Gabriel's Inferno and Gabriel's Rapture.
Professor Gabriel Emerson has left his position at the University of Toronto to embark on a new life with his beloved Julianne. Together, he's confident that they can face any challenge.
But Julianne's graduate program threatens Gabriel's plans for their life together, as the pressures of being a student become all consuming. When she is given the honour of presenting an academic lecture at Oxford, several individuals from their past appear, including an old nemesis intent on humiliating Julia and exposing one of Gabriel's darkest secrets.
In an effort to confront his remaining demons, Gabriel begins a quest to discover more about his biological parents - a search that has startling repercussions for himself and for Julianne.
Sylvain Reynard is a Canadian writer with an interest in Renaissance art and culture and an inordinate attachment to the city of Florence. Sylvain's previous novels in this series, Gabriel's Inferno and Gabriel's Rapture, are also published by Penguin.
Customer Reviews
The magic is gone
Something is missing. The heroes fight pointless, to much and for no reason. Someone could say that they fight so they can find the stability their look for, despite their history and personal demons, but... It gets boring! The fine writing from the first and the second books, isn't here. So this is why there are too many parentheses ...and all of them are needed... To make a point, to explain something, some feeling that can't be written and given the right way from the author. I was expecting more. At the end the characters find peace but the story has gaps. The secondary faces make moves that the author doesn't complete. Why can't see the result off those actions. We can imagine some but ...
For example...
Paul and Juliet stop talk by an email for some reasons we know about, and then a few chapters later they speak again, with no other reference, by email... For some news, and then they don't have a regular friendship. Someone tries to secure them, takes action and the hole subject stays unfinished.
I believe that the book is written very fast and sloppy. Someone filled the brains of the team and they thought they had an easy job... Wrong.
