I like that this book is stand alone despite being the third book in the series Legends of the Grail. The story also seems to be intriguing as you mention that the tale is not bound by the limitations of this world but spill o we to the land of magic. Thanks for your good review. It offers me a good nudge to read this book.

Thanks for informing readers that this book can be read as a standalone. It was fascinating to read about the way you connected with this story. Your enthusiasm is contagious! This sounds like a fascinating story about legends and love.

Today's BOTD is Book 3 in the Legends of the Grail series, but is able to be read as a standalone romantic fantasy fiction novel. Readers who enjoy Celtic legends and mythology will be fully engaged from page one and will find themselves intrigued with the well developed characters and storyline. Thank you for the wonderful review. I've downloaded my copy! :-)

This sounds like a thoughtful mix of fantasy and folklore. This book isn’t my cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoyed your excellent review!

This review was one of the most informative review I have ever read. It was understandable, detailed and not boring at all, it makes me want to dive right in. My favorite genre is fantasy and I have a deep interest in mystical folklore and I must say if this book is anything like she described, it’s worth the read.

I always feel amazed when it comes an idea of weaving a story of previous birth. I checked the sample of this novel on Amazon and it seems to be an interested story. Therefore added this novel "Nimue" by Ayn Cates Sullivan in my book shelf. I hope I will enjoy this book.

It is interesting that Christianity in its infancy was labeled a cult and the Book of Acts supports this idea. I look forward to reading this fantasy book. Great review!

This brief review reveals a lot about the fantasy that revolves around the mysterious legends and legendary characters that I would love to read.

This seemed like a YA novel to me at first glance, but the review tells me that it may be a bit more mature. I will probably read it now. Thanks for the review!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting fantasy story focusing on a young girl who after moving to England discovers that her family's past is anything but ordinary. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Thank you for your detailed review. It helped me to know more about the book. While sci-fi/fantasy books aren't generally my type of genre, this book sounds interesting. I think I might give it a try It will be nice to have a tour of England too.

I find it interesting that this book can be read as a standalone, it also seems to contain a lot of aspects of history, ancient tales, romance, and misticism too. However, it isn't for me. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

It's good to know that this book, despite being part of a series, can be read as a stand-alone. However, I'm not attracted to tackling Celtic legends, magic, cults, and gods; so I'll pass on this book this time. Thank you for this honest review.
