The Bloodletter's Daughter: A Novel of Old Bohemia Audiobook

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The main characters are well developed, it is suspenseful, and narrative is easy to follow. I knew very little of the Hapsbergs in Bohemia before reading this novel. I would definitely recommend it to historical fiction lovers. "

" a very well written book that kept me riveted until the end. happy to have read it but will probably never read it again. "

" I am not completely done with it but I love it and can't wait to find out how it ends. I almost know all the places mentioned in the book personally and that makes it so much more fun to me. Awesome read!!! "

" Set in the early 1600s in Bohemia, The Bloodletter's Daughter is about Marketa, her role in her family and town and the intersection of her life with the "madman" son of the king. The story is compelling and enjoyable and is well worth the investment of time. "

" I enjoyed this book and it feel just a little short of a 4 star rating. Definitely worth reading but the plot didn't hold together quite as tightly as I would have liked. "

" I really Liked this book although I could go with out the over throwing the king bit as I felt the uncle character was unnecessary. "

" This is a light read, but enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of the bathhouse, which were humorous and fun to imagine. Not too challenging, and somewhat predictable... yet somehow not a waste of time. "

" 4.5 - hard to put it down. "

" I greatly enjoyed this book! Great story line and characters. And Miss Lafferty gives the book a proper ending! "

" Interesting but bloody. "

" Loved, loved, loved. Couldn't put it down. "

" I loved this book. As a Chemist - a female Chemist in an industry that is still make dominated - I love stories about women from this time period who are interested in science. This was a fast read and I loved the reader notes at the end about the inspiration for the book. "

" I enjoyed the book, although I found certain aspects of it to be less-than-believable. The plot aside, it seemed in some ways--particularly with the depth of the characters--to be more of a young adult book. The setting was intriguing. "

" Was completed engrossed in the story. Well researched and entertaining until the last page "

" Interesting and quick. Like that is based on fact. "

" Loved this book...I couldn't put it down! I loved the history the book is based on and I highly recommend this book! "

" a novel with a great deal of historical research. I enjoyed it. "

" Interesting for the time period. "

" Found it interesting. I know very little about the 1600's and the time peaked my interest to explore what life was like in future years, 1700's, 1800's. Had heard of blood letting but did not have a full picture until I read this book. It was a good read. "

" Wasn't my cup of tea. It started out really good but then I found my interest waning. I'm a little disappointed. "

" I'd rate this between a 3 and 4. It was an interesting read, but certainly not a book that I couldn't put down. "

" I got a kick out of this. Also all the stuff about bloodletting was surprisingly interesting. "

" Thoroughly enjoyed this historical fiction because I learned about someone new in history and then did some research on what was brought to my attention. I enjoyed learning about Don Julius, the crazy son of King Rudolf II. "

" I enjoyed this book. I wasn't 100% happy with the ending, there are definitely several questions which are left unanswered. I did enjoy the character development through out it. "
