The Lion's daughter is weak in comparison to its sequel, Captives of the Night.
The characters are well defined and far more interesting and the plot more exciting.
I was rooting for Ismael even in the first book as I thought the main male protagnonist boring and whimpy.
It is as well that Ismael waited for Captives of the Night for his heroine because Esme did not deserve him.
A much more exciting and interesting heroine matched him in Captives of the Night.

First comment about this book - the cover art seemed a bit odd. We have a man with a very modern haircut peeping through some bed hangings; he's got a definite five o'clock shadow but completely hairless arms and he looks like one of my friends who's a vicar in Swindon. He certainly doesn't look like an Albanian man masquerading as a French Count in 1829 - who is described as having blonde hair which is slightly overlong and amazingly blue eyes.

I'm so glad that this book has been re-issued.

I loved this book. Although I had several strong suspicions at various stages of the story, I never guessed who the culprit was. The story is loaded with lots of good detail and has excellent character and plot development. While I found the early love scenes to be irritatingly frustrating, it was definitely worth it to keep reading.
The cover image is excellent of him, but not of her, whom the story describes as having always-mussed waist-length hair and wearing no makeup.

One of Chase's other books contained a reference to the characters in this one. She said something to the effect of, "the husband lusts after d'Esmond, who's after the wife, who only wants to be left alone to paint". Right then, I wanted to read about Leila and d'Esmond, and Chase didn't disappoint with their appearance here.
