Review # 1 was written on 2010-11-11 00:00:00 John Holt Travel reading. "Beverly of Graustark" was a childhood favorite. It's a little harder dragging my way through this follow up, written long ago in a very, very different era. I have a different perspective than I did as a 13 year old, and there have been a number of wince-worthy moments. (And grimacing at the airport is becoming a sensitive and scary thing these days. Anything that makes them look twice at you is a bad thing...) I might finish this one someday... if I run out of better books. ^_^

Review # 2 was written on 2016-05-09 00:00:00 Chris Gavin "The Prince of Graustark" proved to be a mixture of rambling third-person narrative that could in the most part be skimmed, coupled with some entertaining scenes and dialogue exchanges between the two main characters. One big difference between this and the three previous novels in the series is that no events take place in Graustark until we reach the end of the book. Speaking of the end - and I won't reveal any spoilers here - the author hits the reader with a brilliant twist in the tale. The closing chapter or two were plodding along in such a boring manner when suddenly the predictable ending is turned on its head. Pity more brilliance like this didn't occur throughout what I can only describe as an above-average book.
