A good story in the series, but not much in the way of further character development and read like a stop-gap between major story lines rather than a full story of its own. I personally didn't find the mystery very mystifying and was disappointed at how easy it was to figure out. Also - I didn't re-read the other 2 Dulcie books so my memory might be faulty in that this books seems to pick up after an altered end to book 2.

Brilliant!Just Brilliant! I was devestated when it ended.
Mostly interesting as a historical curiosity. This novel was written by Blessed John Henry Newman following his conversion to the Catholic Faith. Newman was a solid theologian and thinker, but not a very good novelist. The characters do little more than voice a variety of theological opinion, a good many chapters are rather superfluous to the proceedings and any actual dramatic tension that may have fueled the narrative is drowned in interminable debate. Not advised unless one is particularly interested in Victorian religious literature.

I liked the book. Didn't love it, but liked it. I think I might have had too high of expectations after reading a review in the sunday paper. This is a "print on demand book" so I had to order it and wait for it to arrive. I got frustrated when I was reading it because I wanted Teya to be a stronger heroine, less easy to intimidate and manipulate. I realize that the writer was holding out for the big climax, but I got a little annoyed along the way. There are a few inconsistencies with the writing, for example, in one paragraph Jesse is sitting by the bed waiting for Teya to wake up "His rumpled bloodstained clothes left no doubt that he had stayed with her for as long as she had been there" but as he gets up and brings her water, "he had changed his bloodstained shirt for another, but his trousers still carried splotches of red". Then there are a few groan inducing lines like "He was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. A flame that shone too brightly for him" Since I am being nit-picky, the girl on the cover looks like she has metal teeth or every tooth has a filling and the font size in this book is just a little too small. Other than that, it is an OK, clean fun adventure/romance.

I worried I wouldn't like reading this book because it has the potential to make me feel like I'm bringing my work home. Usually I like to read books for pleasure that let me forget all the depressing things I read at work. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly swept away into the story of Valentino. it was also interesting for me to hear the history of the conflict in southern sudan, an area and a topic with which i work every day. It gave me insight into what life was like before fighting broke out and I find that valuable perspective to keep when looking at the region today.

A must read for anyone who wants/needs to understand the origins of Islam and how much it differs from the popular misconceptions of radical Islam.

I struggled with this book, it's supposed to be brilliant but I didn't enjoy it. It took several starts to finish it but I plugged away thinking I must be missing something and apparently I still am!

Not the best book I've ever read, but engaging from the first page to the last -- something that can be said about very few books. I'll definitely be reading the sequels.

Modern teenagers of today might think people of early twentieth century Europe were a simple lot. After all, they rode in carriages, wrote letters by hand, and attended formal balls. The nobility did little else but gossip and discuss Parisian fashions. Yet, in GG Vandagriff’s newest novel, pre-World War I Austria explodes with intrigue, volatile politics that would eventually bring the Austrian people under Hitler’s rule, and a love story that proves that a woman’s heart is as vast as the ocean. In 1913, Amalia Faulhaber is just nineteen years old, engaged to a Baron who will secure her family’s social status. Her life is predictable as she follows the pattern set by the aristocracy. Then her fiancé breaks their engagement, telling her he must follow his childhood dream and join the Prussian army. He leaves for Germany that same day. Amalia is devastated, but even worse, humiliated. She hides the break-up until she can deliver a valid explanation to her family. Yet as she is struggling with feelings of being rejected, she meets two men. One is another Baron—an Austrian who promises to choose her over his country. The other, a Pole, who holds the same ideals as Amalia and haunts her dreams and every waking moment. But a terrible misunderstanding drives Amalia to make a mistake that she will pay for a lifetime. Soon after, World War I breaks out, and Amalia is forced to face her ghosts and heal from tragedy. She copes by working as a nurse, becoming a witness to unspeakable horrors. Her family loses their position in society and politics and war take over any hope of Amalia ever marrying for true love. Austria is thrown into chaos as various government ideals struggle for power. Family members are forced to choose sides. Fortunes are lost. Jews are persecuted. Amalia’s only salvation is developing a relationship with the Lord. And she must learn to trust again. Before reading this book, I’d never given too much thought to those who lived in pre-Hitler controlled Austria. Of course, I’ve seen the Sound of Music enough times to understand that those who did not swear allegiance to Hitler were in mortal danger. Yet, the events leading up to this historical time were fascinating. The Last Waltz was truly an epic love tale, spanning four decades of Amalia’s life—following her through triumph and tragedy. She’d lost so much, yet came out so strong. And through all of her temptations she remained a virtuous woman. If I was to nitpick one thing, I would have liked more time and attention spent on the literal last waltz that took place near the end of the book. Yet, overall GG Vandagriff has a talent for immersing the reader in a different time and place. I was interested to read her biography and discover that she’d lived and studied in Austria. The Last Waltz is also a novel that was thirty years in the making. I’m grateful it finally made it to me.

This book got a lot of hype...It is suspensful and fun but it is a bit overwrought (overdone description) and is all over the place. It also thinks its more clever it is with the chapter titles, etc. I'd grudgingly reccomend it.
