In my opinion, the plot is a very different one which revolves around ghosts of late kings and queens. The story grips you in an instant. In fact, with every chapter the readers are definitely going to enjoy the mayhem and chaos. Lots of things are happening in the story which arises curiosity for the next happening. It is my first time that I am reading something by the author, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Definitely, I would like to give 4 stars to the book. Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.… (meer)

Right from the start, the author placed me directly in the story. I could feel the cold winds blowing in a long, desperate winter. I could sense the mounting panic as supplies ran low and their trepidation at whether or not their loved ones would return as "saviors" or "sentencers". I could hear the hoof beats as things became more unsettled, and the shiver of hope that ran among the villagers, traveled down my spine as well. When things looked bleak, I held my breath. When the tragedy of the heart that was the unexpected (sort of) betrothal of Meg to the wrong suitor came to pass, I couldn't stop my stomach from churning, despite knowing times were different then and battles were settled, stronger bonds made through the blending of families. The potential for things to perhaps turn out all right in the end was palpable, even when it was merely a tiny glimmer in a darkening world.

Suffice it to say, it made an impression and though not my usual read (time period wise), I certainly found myself lost between the epages a time or two. Oh and yeah, I've TOTALLY read another work by this author previously, and I remember being equally swept away.
