Leviticus 17:11 I Day three, tower, late in dayĪ small sharp blade is required for sharpening the point of a quill. Read moreįor the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. I think this could have easy been solved by the author put a brief biography about the countess at the end of the story. It sadly didn't make me want to learn more about this historical figure and I have to say that the end while true to history was very anti-climactic and made the book feel unfinished.
This book at times was very gripping but at other times I really considered giving up on it because I was so disinterested. With the assistance of Sinestra, she is taken down a very dark path that leads her to forsake God and commit murder all in the hope of staying young forever. The main character Erszébet as a child finds a prophecy that predicts an early death for her that strikes fear in her heart and she becomes obsessed with finding some way to stop herself from aging. This book has very dark subject matter and I am not sure I would agree with the library having this in the young adults section of the library.The book is a fictional account about Erszébet Báthory, a Hungarian countess who lived in the 1600s who killed virgin girls and bathed in their blood.
