I support you on this. The author really did his homework. Enjoyed it from the beginning to the end.Kareka88 wrote: ↑31 Oct 2018, 22:00 The book is a pleasing blend of fact and fiction, myth, and history. It is evident the author is enthusiastic about this period and has done extensive research. It seems to be a well-crafted story. It evokes different emotions in the reader because of the turbulent political climate of the ancient Celtic kingdoms, the chaotic nature of young love, and the unpredictable powers of the ancient Druids.

really? and i enjoyed reading Catrin's thought. enjoyed the book and it romance.Rick Swan wrote: ↑01 Nov 2018, 15:44 I thought the book was ok. I felt like the book was really a romance novel set in ancient times. The plot was interesting, but I found myself wanting to skip over all the swooning and graphic description of Catrin's thoughts.

I've been asking myself the same thing about Vala, it just doesn't seem fair or logical that she wasn't part of the exchange and the author could have give us a less open ending for this installment all thou the openness did make me want to read more.CommMayo wrote: ↑30 Sep 2018, 11:17Good point about Vala...they did seem to forget about her rather quickly. I had wished that this novel could act as a stand alone as well. The ending was way too open ended for me. Even the best series authors have a way to bring up some sort of conclusion for each installment of a series.Mairi_07 wrote: ↑25 Sep 2018, 00:55 Why wasn't Vala part of the prisoner exchange? Wouldn't a loving father make sure she got out safe? Did she even survive being a Roman hostage? I understand this is the first installment of a series, and yet I find these unanswered questions detracted so much from the story, I gave it a lower score. If some of these items were addressed, it would seem a much more professional book. I have read many books from different series, and most of those books could also stand alone. This one could not.

Catrin and Marcellus are both really well played characters and the story gives a good representation of people beliefs and how they can shape you and those around you. A must read if you haven't yet.

However, non lovers of history may have bias mind. My rating for this book is 3 out of 4 ratings.
