Still exquisitely rendered illustrations, but with a truly boring plot whose characters feel contrived. ( )

Back to Griffin & Sabine. It always comes back to Griffin Moss & Sabine Strohem. Except not. This time, it is Matthew and Isabella. Matthew Sedon and Isabella de Reims are madly, hopelessly, truly in love. Except, like Griffin and Sabine before them, they cannot reach each other. He, in Alexandria, Egypt. She, in Paris, France. The archaeologist and the student worlds apart. Unable to connect, their romance depends on the guidance of the only other couple to experience such a divide. Through similar letters and postcards, Matthew & Isabella explore worlds beyond their imagination. Will they ever meet? ( )

It confused me...although I found a very good quote amongst the postcards and I throughly enjoyed the art.

I really didn't understand this! ( )

There was a lot of build-up in this novel with no climax, except for that of the two lead characters who finally managed to hook up in Egypt. I guess that was the point. This trilogy was doesn't live up to the first. The speech is too elliptical and the sinister elements seemed tacked on and unnecessary. ( )
