I am not big on books that have historical connotations, but this was a fun read. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review via LibraryThing. ( )

This is a LTGA book in exchange of an honest review.
It's a nice journey throughout time accompanied by horses. Young horse owner Meagan find herself brought back in time from her horse Promise, which is a Great Horse.
The legend is hard to believe for modern time people, but "the owner will believe it" and so does Meagan.
She find herself living in different ages in history, waiting for Promise to take her back home and meanwhile struggling to survive in hard times, from wilderness to slavery, to war.
I liked this book very much, I am already reading the third.
The author knowledge about horses is indisputable and he really got it fitting right into the plot without being too particular, so that even people that are not familiar with horses can enjoy the reading.
It's an easy reading even when it comes to the history parts, which, like the horse part, are well entwined in the plot and don't stand out risking to being boring. On the contrary.
The only thing I wished reading the book was a bit large insight in the historical period, but being the book mostly for young readers, it would probably have been boring.
I recommend it as a nice reading worth your time. ( )

Eclipsed by Shadow
by: John Allen Royce

I won this book from a Library Thing giveaway

Eclipsed by Shadow is a Historical/ Fantasy/ Time Travel novel. This is book 1 in the time travel trilogy. This book is recommended for ages 15 to adult. And has also won some pretty major awards. The Eric Hoffer Award and Gold Moms Choice.

Meagan Roberts discovers that her horse "Promise" is the "Great Horse" when she tries to save her horse from thieves. This horse travels back through time when she rides him.

Through the travel, Meagan learns about the horses role through time. How our relationship with horses has changed through the years.

This book will be a must-have for horse enthusiests, but it's aslo a great Historical novel for all the others. I found this book to be very captivating and really kept my interst throughout. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I will highly recommend this book to friends. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. I'm not a horse person, or young adult, but the story and action sequences kept me glued. I should also say that this was my second reading of the book, which I enjoyed even more than the first!

Megan, a horse obsessed young girl, gets a foal of her own, and learns all about taking care of the young horse, training it, waiting to ride it until it physically matures (leg bones harden).

But Promise is no ordinary horse. After several unsuccessful attempts by mysterious characters to acquire Promise, both by honest and illegal means Megan learns of the Legend of the Great Horse. Born on earth, descended from angels (with wings) sent to help mankind through some tough times, they become almost our equine guardian angels.But this couldn't be her horse, could it?

During a botched attempt to take her horse by force, Meagan mounts Promise meaning to lead them both away from danger. But she gets so much more in the bargain!

Using her modern skills both as a young adult and an equestrian she travels through several periods in history, tracing how the horse has impacted our civilization's development. From early man, to Rome, the Tartars and finally the Dark Ages, Megan navigates through history trying to get herself and Promise home to the present time.

First of a trilogy, this volume introduces the characters, the general plot and we're off! Certainly knowledge of horsemanship is helpful, but is not essential. The author skillfully carries the reader along on an incredible journey, made more believable by his skillful use of horse 'ology', common sense and good old fahioned action. Granted, the time travel angle was a bit much to swallow, but once past that you learn about the relationship between horses and history.

This book grabbed my interest early on and kept me intrigued throughout. Aimed towards young adult readers, I think if you have an interest in horses and history give "Eclipsed by Shadow" a try. Myself, I'm looking forward to the second volume "The Golden Spark" anxiously. ( )
