Der lange Schatten der GuillotineSchon vor der Franzsischen Revolution gab es gelegentliche Hinrichtungen durch das Fallbeil, aber erst ab 1791 kommt der Tod auf dem Schafott flchendeckend und fr alle zum Einsatz. Bis dahin entschieden der gesellschaftliche Stand und die Art des Verbrechens ber die Wahl der Hinrichtungsmethode. Nun hlt die Industrialisierung des Ttens Einzug. Denn vor der Guillotine werden alle gleich. Und whrend die Zeitgenossen angesichts all der abgeschlagenen

Schon vor der Französischen Revolution gab es gelegentliche Hinrichtungen durch das Fallbeil, aber erst ab 1791 kommt der Tod auf dem Schafott flächendeckend und für alle zum Einsatz. Bis dahin entschieden der gesellschaftliche Stand und die Art des Verbrechens über die Wahl der Hinrichtungsmethode. Nun hält die Industrialisierung des Tötens Einzug. Denn vor der Guillotine werden alle gleich. Und während die Zeitgenossen angesichts all der abgeschlagenen Köpfe noch rätseln, ob das Bewusstsein der Geköpften vom Körper getrennt noch weiterleben kann, entwirft László F. Földényi in seinem bildreichen Essay seine ganz eigene Erzählung des langen 19. Jahrhunderts - ausgehend von unserem Eintritt in die Kopflosigkeit. Zur gleichen Zeit hält auch die neue Technik der Fotografie Einzug. Erst ihre flächendeckende Verbreitung ermöglicht es, den Moment aus der Vergänglichkeit des Lebens zu lösen, ihn gleichermaßen zu verewigen wie zu töten. Das führt nicht nur zu einem neuen Verständnis von Zeit und Raum, sondern zu einer Veränderung der Wahrnehmung selbst. Als würde der Schnitt des Fallbeils sich ab da unendlich fortsetzen, wirkt fortan alles fragmentiert: die Körper, die Stadt, die Dichtung und die Malerei. Ein ganz und gar neues Bild des Menschen entsteht, das ihn als ein bizarres, ein gewaltlüsternes, ein kopfloses Wesen zeichnet und das bis in unsere Gegenwart fortwirkt.

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!
