This book is very esoteric but well researched. Even though I didn’t know anything about the topic I still found myself very interested and invested.

A really compelling novel which has taken me to Wales in 1110. The descriptions of the country, planning of battles as well as its characters were such that I felt being there. I learned a lot about this country subjected to so much violence, and of course they gave it back... I found interesting the topic of honour to the family and Wales. Betrayals were of course a near daily problem. Quite a lot romance which counteracted the reigning violence but also allowed me to have a good insight into family life. A great read!
I received a digital copy of this novel from NetGalley and I am leaving voluntarily an honest review.

I enjoy reading books based on Welsh lore so I was really excited for this one. For me it had a great mix of pace and it is a great story overall.

Oh I didn’t realize this was book two. So I’m going to track these books down on my own as who knows when I’ll get to book one? However I’m so glad this is now on my radar because I adore Welsh history and want desperately to read a series about it!
