The Rose Labyrinth

by Titania Hardie

As Britain's favourite white witch Titania Hardie has written more than 20 bestselling books of divination and spells. The Rose Labyrinth marks her first foray into fiction. Combining her esoteric knowledge with her literary talents she has created an enthralling work - part thriller, part historical novel, part myth and part treasure hunt. 'I am what I am, and what I am is what I am. I have a will to be what I am, and what I will be is only what I am.' So begins the cryptic text on the scrap of old parchment left to Will by his mother, accompanied by a tiny silver key. What does it mean - and what does the key unlock? Travelling between the past and the present, the reader follows the characters as they try to unravel the mystery. But, unlike any normal puzzle, in this case the reader has an advantage: tucked into the cover of the book is a replica of the parchment left to Will, but a more complete document packed with clues. The reader has the opportunity to puzzle it over with the fictitious characters as the novel unfolds - or better still, get one step ahead of them by piecing together the entire document and becoming the first to discover the 'treasure'.
Superbly designed and illustrated, The Rose Labyrinth, is set to intrigue and delight readers for years to come.

This is firmly hogging the heels of the Da Vinci Code using some information about Dee and labyrinths and ancient mysteries and heart transplants.

Yeah, heart transplants and cellular memory feature, which is a different spin on the story.

I found it readable but nothing spectacular.

I didn't know what to expect from this book going into it since it has gotten such mixed reviews, but I really enjoyed it a lot! It was sort of The DaVinci Code meets a romance novel! Also kudos to whomever was in charge of marketing for this book, it came in a really nice box with the book and 17 cards with the puzzles the characters have to solve in the book, so you can try solving them before hand or along with the characters. A very cool hook! Overall a really fun and enjoyable read. I look forward to more from this author.
