Critics Review
Breslin’s ability to weave a well-researched, page-turning plot around sympathetic, believable characters has been displayed before in The Medici Seal and The Nostradamus Prophecy … It’s unputdownable – Amanda Craig * The Times *From the past to the future via a highly unstable present … Prisoner of the Inquisition has Christopher Columbus in a walk-on part, but the main story is of the families caught up in the Spanish Inquisition – Jasmine Fassell * Scotland on Sunday *It’s a fantastic, mesmerising and enjoyable book … This is a brilliant tale of revenge, betrayal and courage. From the start I was gripped – Shannon Waters * Sugarscape *
