Too long! - By: Yorkshire Lass, 20 Nov 2008 
Much better than her last offering Daughters of Fire. However, I did at times want to throttle the heroine for being a drip & constantly ignoring the advice of her friends.
Also this book was about 100 pages too long, & I ended up speed-reading the last third of the book.
Barbara Erskine does it again - another gripping book. - By: Ms. A. Stevens, 22 Sep 2008 
I have been a fan of Barbara Erskine for around 14 years now & always look forward to her new books. This one as not let me down. The dual stories of Eigon from the past & Jess from the current are both gripping & keep you reading from front to back cover. Cant wait for the next Barbara Erskine book! Thanks.

disappointing...... - By: D. Thalmann, 14 Sep 2008 
A long awaited book, turned out to be a disappointment. It dragged, & I found myself skipping paragraphs. A wonderful author has let herself down with this one. The historical background was well written & interesting, but the characters?.... weak & boring!
brilliant - By: F. Young, 30 Aug 2008 this is my first barbara erskine novel , & as soon as I read the synopsis , i felt i just had to read it... I finished itin a day ... can't put it down, the story is so engaging , feel a bit long sometimesin the middle , but it soon pick up & just hooked you till the end... I'm now excitedly browsing for more of her book...
Celtic Connundrum - By: Rhiannon, 27 Aug 2008 
I have read all of Erskines previous books so eagerly await any new offering.
Only trouble is she is so formulaic, its the same novel plot over & over again.I wish for once she would come out of her comfort zone & surprise me.
Good points , learning about Celtic Britain & Roman Times with a mix of early Christianity thrown in.
Bad points, plot all over the place.Characters very annoying & having read so many of her works i sadly guessed most of what was going to happen.The ending after nearly 500 pages was weak.
Ive given it 4 stars because she is a good story teller but Barbara stretch yourself next time & come up with a different plot for once.
