Ysabel
Ysabel by Guy Gavriel Kay
Picked this one up on a recommendation from Amazon. After having read it, I feel like the book would be much more at home in the Young Adult section, not in Adult Fiction where it currently resides (at my library, at least).
Set in modern day France, Ysabel is the story of two star-crossed teens, boy and girl, who meet in a cathedral. Myths and legends spring forth during their time together – seems it is the right time of year for supernatural events – and no one seems too upset by this. Boy saves girl in the end and here we are.
Easy reading pretty much sums up the book, and, really, I’d probably enjoy it more were I 20 years younger. A decent tale, but nothing special.
3/5 gogs.
