A breathtaking tale of daring and sacrifice that makes a triumphant finale to Mosse's Languedoc trilogy
The sense of setting and period seeps from every page ... we live through plucky Sandrine's life and loves in the French Resistance, all the way to the powerful and utterly shattering end.
Mosse's writing is so evocative you can almost feel the Midi sun on her characters necks, as well as the frantic beating of their hearts
Full of action, romance and supernatural mystery, it cracks along at a great pace, making it an engaging and easy read
As with the first two books a touch of the gothic and a dash of the occult run through the writing, but the balance between the distant and recent past is here at its best
Mosse has a masterly feel for time and place . . . A remarkable achievement
Citadel, the concluding volume of Mosse's French Trilogy, is also her best ... Fans can expect a passionate finale to a series rooted in a region where history and legend lock horns
It's a proper adventure story, engrossing and packed with suspense at every turn of the page
The thrilling conclusion to her Languedoc trilogy . . . a mix of Girls Own adventure and wrenching war history
The much-anticipated third part of Kate Mosse's Languedoc trilogy is finally here ... This action-packed epic contains everything we've come to expect - mystery, adventure and long-buried secrets just waiting to be uncovered
Expect an energetic mystery about Nazi-occupied France
As with it's predecessors, the deeper theme of Citadel is the fight against the evil of intolerance. Mosse's descriptions of the majestic stone ruins of Carcassonne and the idyllic landscape around it shimmer with authenticity
Infused with local atmosphere and featuring a wealth of fascinating historical information, the novel combines a thrilling adventure with an epic love story
A lovely, fat, comfy wodge of a book, packed with suspense and romance ... A thrilling adventure and a truly epic love story
Nobody beats Mosse for local texture and atmosphere. As the call to the resistance sounds over the land, she orchestrates a shattering climax
A deeply satisfying literary adventure, brimming with all the romance, treachery and cliffhangers you would expect from the genre. It is also steeped in a passion for the region, its history and legends, and that magical shadow world where the two meet
A suitably thumping and satisfying conclusion to Mosse's world-conquering Languedoc trilogy
