Title: Babylonne
Author: Catherine Jinks

Thoughts: This historical fiction novel was somewhat interesting as it covered a time period of history that I am not intimately familiar with. It made me curious about the Cathars and part way though reading the book I had to look them up out of curiosity. Anyway, I found part of the plot to be rather predictable as in that I closely divined the general gist of the end of the book just from blurb on the back. The writing is also a bit simplistic feeling, but it was written in first person from the point of view of a teenage girl. First person is a hard perspective to write in from my experience. More often than not I find that writing in first person can feel awkward and Jinks’s writing did not feel awkward despite the perspective. I enjoyed reading the book and I may read the books about Babylonne’s father someday when I have the time.
