This is actually the third book of the triology, but I read it first. It was so good I had to read the others.

This was my favorite of the trilogy-I'm glad I stuck it out! While this is a work of fiction, Watson does an excellent job of setting the scene of the book (all the books, really). It probably helps that she's an archaeologist who's worked excavating Roman forts...

I really enjoyed the beginning and end of the novel. The middle got a little murky and I almost lost interest. I did not read the first two novels in this trilogy as this was set several hundred years after the first one. I might have enjoyed the middle more if I had. It did make references to things that happened in those book. The novel was about Minna and her life. She doesn't fit in and is a wise women. Her brother leaves to become a soldier near Hadrian's wall. She is left with a choice once her grandmother passes; marry a man who only wants her because she is odd or runaway. She gets these visions at times and decides that she should go. She ends up meeting Cian a traveling performer. He agrees to bring her to the wall to find her brother so that she can tell him about her grandmother. Thus begins Cian and Minna's adventure. There were many confusing parts and some of the names get lost. Overall it is the history of the Scots, and northern Britain tribes rebelling against the Romans. It is taking place in the 4th century so I do appreciate any novel from this time period. I wish more was written about it.

Personally, i think that this series got really long, and could've ended before the 3rd book. I got sick of all the fighting with the Romans, but it was a good book in a way with all the Sisterhood coming back with Minna! :D
