Decent book. I will recommend it to friends and family that like this style of writing and genre otherwise the book wasn't my favorite. I can't really explain why it just wasn't and sometimes that happens.

the style of writing was great however.

I was unfortunately not able to finish this book. The reason was simply being unable to stomach some of the very graphic scenes of horrible violence. It is not something I can ever read of without a visceral reaction and feeling my own sense of fear. I stopped reading near the 15% mark but I am still giving the book 5 stars. It is very well written and I wanted to see how it played out. I am confident this book will find its audience. Initially it was a bit difficult to read due to the various names and the difficulty I had in understanding them being from America. I used the pronunciation guide frequently and that helped a lot. I will likely pick up reading a page here and there but I couldn’t easily stomach it reading at a normal pace. But that is often a sign of good writing. While the graphic descriptions of many atrocities is something I don’t read, being able to make your audience feel as the characters must feel is the mark of good writing.

I really enjoyed reading this, it was what I was hoping for from the description. It worked so well in the story and with the concept, I loved the concept of the warrior princesses. It worked in the historical novel and worked well with the other elements. I loved the characters and enjoyed the way DAVID H MILLAR wrote this. I can't wait to read more from this author as I enjoyed this.

"Trust her,” whispered Iasg in Beacán’s ear, knowing he was exceptionally protective of the girls. His response was a muttered grunt and a broad smile at Glaisne, which was totally at odds with his thoughts. That Glaisne’s response was an unreserved beam did little to allay Beacán’s misgivings. Once again, he considered the possibility of a tragic accident."
