Can't wait to read her other books. ( ) A nice story with some lovely elements. There were bits of brilliant language and vivid images. It was great to read a story about droving which is something that is not greatly explored in historical fiction. There was magic and a struggle of good against evil. It was told in alternating view points of the heroine and hero. That's fine but I didn't enjoy the tenses it was written in. I don't like first person present POV which the heroine's portion of the story is told. I totally despised that the hero's POV was 3rd person present. It was jarring and odd. I hope this kind of odd tenses are just a phase that author's are going through. I asked one fairly successful author why her newest book was in 1st present and she said because everyone else is doing it and she didn't want to be left behind. There was a nice bit of romance but I wouldn't really classify it as a romance. Even with the odd tenses it was a fun read. It would have scored higher though if the tenses had matched and were in past tense of any sort. Quite a joy to read, especially out loud. Very reminiscent of Goose Girl and it's corresponding series by Shannon Hale in that there is mostly minor magic practice and mostly intuitive. Surprisingly a secondary romance novel, with a wife and husband slowly getting to know each other after a betrothed marriage. The author, hailing from the country the tale takes place, was clearly able to keep everything sincere to history. Connected to protagonist on a very personal level, in that some attitudes I shared. Prepare for some gut-wrenching paragraphs, for there are a number of them. Some serious sensuality, but acceptable within the bonds of marriage in my opinion. May suggest a Welsh dictionary and pronunciation guide to enjoy the novel more by identifying the terms riddled throughout. Had a satisfying end and I feel that it stood alone from the first of the series. I liked it! This book is long and has a lot of text. It’s very dense. It took me a long time to get through it, but I enjoyed the story. It is kind of obvious who the villain is, but that’s okay. I like the atmosphere, landscape and the idea of a main character who can’t speak is interesting. I also enjoyed watching Morgana and Cai figure themselves out. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
