Reseñas
S.O.Y.
The storyline is classic H. R. Haggard, however without some of the usual typecasting of dueling female characters who simultaneously vie for the affections of the leading masculine character. As in other of Haggard’s works, an allusion to an afterlife that promises fulfillment of unrequited and sacrificial love interests in eternal bliss, affords a happy ending to the most difficult final circumstances and separations- :)
Not As Expected
Luella
The dynamic between the three main characters was very enjoyable. It was once they had been on the island awhile that Haggard's love of the supernatural came in HEAVILY, which I can only stand a little of... The previous dynamic of the three characters remained, but that was all I appreciated for the remaining nine hours of the book. I had been expecting something more like 'Montezuma's Daughter' from the description. All the readers did very well, though. 12-23-23
Don't waste your time. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings..
