Lived up to expectations. A great read.
by Ann of Ditchling
I have read, and re-read all Dinah Jefferies’ books but was a little disappointed with this latest one (Daughters of War No.3). Somehow I was not drawn into the story, as I have been with all the others, and did not feel sympathetic towards a couple of the main characters. Nevertheless, I will re-read this before long and hope that I will look at it in a slightly different light.

Good read but too long.
Some scenarios not realistic.
Overall well written and enjoyable.
by Robert I Jones
Good narrative, and an interesting plot from chapter to chapter.

First off, I didn’t realise that this was the third book of a trilogy. I decided to press on as others said that it can be enjoyed as a stand alone, though I may have missed some of the setup.
I feel this book needed some serious editing. There were pacing isses throughout and lots of repeated directions, I felt like I was going round in circles at times. A good editor may have trimmed this down by around 100 pages which would have really helped with the pacing. Not to mention the several typos that made it through to the finished book.
That said there were some tense moments and the setting of 1960s Marrakech was beautifully described.
My final gripe is the big reveal at the end of the book, which has significant changes to the protagonist’s life moving forward, is barely touched on from her point of view.
