Thank for a great honest review hismone. A historical fiction/epic fantasy with romance, sorcery, deception, mythology, Druids, shape shifting, a prophecy and an ancient curse involving Celtics and Romans sounds amazing. I will be definitely adding this to my to be read list.

Thanks Linnea Tanner

Sounds like an interesting read and captivating too. I am practically 'alergic' to sorcery so this is not my kind of book but your review makes me think twice. A great review there.

A great review of a mythological thriller about a princess and warrior who is torn between a love affair with a man from her enemy family and fighting her family's cause.

It’s interesting what we perceive as being a bad omen. My family dislikes ravens as well!

Literature is about life and human tendencies. It could be historical or recent.

This historical novel helps the reader to 'time-travel' to ancient Rome to share ancient lores and customs.

Great job on a very thorough review; I especially enjoyed your paragraph on errors that included use of words like "shenanigans" and "hooligans", ha-ha!... I don't think I'l be reading this one, but you certainly make a case for doing so if this' one's chosen genre.
