Book Reviews of The Magic Circle
Book Review: A fascinating adventure, over 2000 years
Summary: 5 Stars
The Magic Circle is a wonderful, fascinating adventure novel. After her cousin's violent death (or so we think), Ariel Behn, a nuclear security expert in Idaho, finds herself heir to a mysterious collection of manuscripts which contain the key to an ancient and powerful secret. In addition to Ariel's story, which is set in 1989, The Magic Circle contains many historical elements; as she travels across Europe, where her boss has sent her, Ariel discovers many secrets about her extremely complex family, all of whom were involved in the search for the secret in the manuscripts. There is also a parallel plot set in ancient Rome, Jerusalem, and Britain, involving many historical figures. Katherine Neville's knowledge of history is amazing! I learned so much from reading this book, just as I did from reading her novel The Eight. I didn't think it was quite as good as The Eight, but that's not saying much, since The Eight is my favorite novel of all time. In particular, I thought the ending was a bit anticlimactic, and some of the revelations about Ariel's family were a little hard to take. But these are only minor complaints. I still consider The Magic Circle one of my favorite books.
