The Swan Thieves
Written by 'Erin H'
This was my first read by Elizabeth Kostova, and I look forward to enjoying more of her work. The story crosses seemlessly between the Victorian era and present day, as well as between narrators. The transitions were smooth, and as the story moved from one perspective to the next, I found myself reluctant to leave each one, only to become engrossed in the next. Each voice is unique and distinct, but moving between them is not jarring. I was glad the book was as long as it was - I was reluctant to see it end. This was not an edge-of-your-seat thriller, but rather a work that draws you in to a different world.
