The Vintner's Luck by Elizabeth Knox

3.0

Parts of this novel were very slow, and others parts I read multiple times because they were so beautiful and compelling. Xas and Sobran's love story is complicated and dark and pure and selfish and wonderful. I loved the philosophy and religious icons incorporated into the story line. The portrayal of Lucifer in particular was very interesting. The downsides of the story were the characters outside of the family. I felt that they didn't add anything to the drama or the progress of the plot. But Knox's writing is beautiful. I've not read anything quite like her before. It's soft and delicate and then it whacks you over the head with a line that gives you chills.
