Not for me - By: Jilana, 19 Sep 2008 
I persevered with this one after other reviewers said that it wasn't a dual time period novel. Still didn't make any difference to me. I have come to the conclusion that I just don't like B Erskine's style of writing. I cannot immerse myself in her books & lose myself like I can many other authors. I read Lady of Hay previously & to be honest - hated it. I find the premise of Barbara Erskine's novels unbelievable & long drawn out. The style of modern & ancient worlds overlapping & the constant changing from one world to another distracting & irritating.
child of the pheonix - By: R. White, 24 May 2008 
Absolutely fab! One of Barbara Erskine's best novels. Wonderful story full of history, supernatural, fiction with elements of truth alll based round a truly amazing heroine. Very highly recommended.
This was the first book I read from this author & I have since worked my way through alll her other published work.
Can't wait for her new book out later this year!
Bext book ever!!!! - By: B. Richardson, 08 Feb 2008 I love this book, I have never ever read a book more than once, I can watch movies again & again, but this is the only book I have ever read again & could read again & again. I love the historic element & the story intertwining.. love it, love it.
Awesome piece of Fiction! - By: Misfit, 30 Jan 2007 And fiction it is, based upon historical characters & NOT historical fiction. The main character, Elyne, is (according to the author's notes at the end) a composite of two characters, one of them being Ellen, the daughter of Llewellyn the Great & Joanna. I admit to being a bit put off at the first part of the book at the characterizations of some of the Welsh court, particularly Joanna. Having read SKP's Here be Dragons, & having adored Joanna & Llewlleyn & their great love, I admit to grumbling abit at having Joanna being portrayed as such a sanctimonious biddy.
Then I realized this was strictly a piece of fiction & I kicked back & thoroughly enjoyed the story. Lots of truly evil villains, two timing fasle tongued kings, some wonderful heros & a spooky ghost or two. What more can you ask for in a book?
Apparently some of the reviewers were put off by the size of the book. It went very quickly for me, but then I'm the type that doesn't like to read any book under 500 pages if I can help it.
Simply Wonderful! - By: kissthepast, 28 Jan 2007 What an amazing book - my favourite book of alll time. The characters, the plots, the consistently enthrallling storyline, the description & the depth of our heroine Eleyne make this a book a cut above the rest. It's why we read books.
