Alchemy of Glass Barbara Barnett
4 – 4.5 stars
I recently finished reading The Apothecary’s Curse and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I decided to read Alchemy of Glass. Barbara weaves a narrative that spans multiple periods, including the 1800s, the present, and the future. The book combines romance, historical fiction, fantasy, mythology, and sci-fi, all driven by well-developed and intriguing characters into one exciting tale.
The story follows Gaelen’s journey as he discovers a piece of glass that leads him on a quest across different time periods to save humanity. This intricate tale skilfully balances light and darkness. Despite all he has done to her, can Gaelen get Dr. Anne Shaw to help him on his quest? If you enjoy mystery, history, sci-fi, and the supernatural, Alchemy of Glass is a perfect fit.
In summary, Alchemy of Glass intertwines cutting-edge science and ancient Celtic mythology, merging fairy lore with the challenging choices faced by Gaelen as he strives to prevent a catastrophic future.
