So Branwen now has to find Shining One #3. And when she does find Shining One #3, she finds another journey and a bunch more bloody battles to fight.
The romance was kind of keyed down but it did get to the point where I just wanted to yell at certain somebodies to just spit it out and tell him/her how they felt. There were little gestures, and it was interesting to the potential for a love triangle that isn't being used. Go Jones!
The plot had a lot more secrets and a couple interesting turn of events. That along with the many battles that Branwen and her crew fought made the book very interesting. I didn't know that Dera was that bloodthirsty, either.
Branwen was really hard on herself as a leader of her people. She did make some mistakes in this novel because of her pride and other flaws that most of the human species have. It was interesting to see her accept her destiny, but also choose to do as she saw fit with it. She was given a task and yet, she helps people that she doesn't have to and she does things that aren't in her instructions from the Shining Ones. I think that shows that she is totally committed to crushing the Saxons for her country. That also means that those who doubt her and her path shouldn't because she is doing it for the good of her people. Duh.
Another solid novel in this series. I look forward to reading the next one.

And the trilogy comes to an end (of sorts) no more interesting than anything that has come before. One-sided, flat characters move through a predictable but mildly interesting story. Any growth or change that could have happened - and there was potential for this - was told to us by the author, rather than shown to us. Real growth or change of any character was insignificant. I would not read them again, nor would I buy them, certainly, but they made a light diversion for a weekend when I did not feel well.
Oh, and at one point in the middle of this (the third book in the series) Brython suddenly becomes Britain and then changes back. You'd think someone would have caught this in the editing process.
