Good review! A woman warrior as great as better than most that can’t shift change. IM a stickler to reading series in order so this one will have to wait but I’ll have to get the first two because this one seems really intriguing.

As I haven't read the previous two books in the series, I don't think I would be reading this one. However, it does sound like an interesting series. Character development also seems to be on point based on the official review. It would be a good read for historical fiction fans. Thanks for the review.

This sounds like an interesting story. I am a fan of stories from ancient Rome. Although this review does say it could be a standalone, I prefer to read a whole series, especially when the characters are the same. This is a series I will check out thanks to the review.

Latest Review: "Letorian Descendants- Casey Blane Series (Book 1)" by Jodi Ann Fahey

Post by CrescentMoon »

This is a really thorough and well-written review. I read the first book a long time ago so it's really nice to know that the beginning of this book contains a small review of what happened in the previous books. This definitely sounds like an intriguing continuation to the series. I enjoy Catrin as a character as well, she's definitely very strong-willed and tough and I can only imagine the horror of the abuse she's been going through. Great review!

Sounds like an appealing romance story. Unfortunately, there are traits that don't interest me like the spiritual aspect and the sexual scenes. I'll skip the book. Sorry.

The summary for the previous books definitely seems useful for readers to help them remember what happened before. I also like that the book takes place in historical times (mostly Romans and Celtics). Nice review.

From a sampling, this is an interesting and entertaining addition to the Curse of Clansmen and Kings Series following the Roman soldier, Marcellus Antonius, and his love, Catrin the Druid warrior. It seems like it would be worth a second look. Well done.

Catrina must be mightily strong to withstand the training and conditioning in gladiator skills. While I'm happy that this book Amulet's Rapture can be read as a standalone, I want to read the entire trilogy. Thanks for the great review!

I like the backstory connecting the last installment this one. It help readers who haven't read the previous books in series.

I'm not a fan of this genre. I don't think I'll be able to enjoy the story, but I might want to read it in the future. The other two books were also BOTD before. Thanks for your review! I liked the way you explained what you liked and disliked in the story. As per your review, I can understand that you really enjoyed the book.

The story sounds great, captivating and fascinating. Thanks a lot for your enthralling and well-detailed review. I am not sure whether I will be reading this, though.
