I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the experience the book gave me of life in Pictish Scotland, their rituals, culture and beliefs. I enjoyed the map and place names given at the front of the book for reference and I spent time doing some research online which enhanced my reading journey.
I liked Brei, he sacrificed his destiny for others and I found him very like likeable main character. I also found Sorsha an interesting character, she has a destiny she does not want and there is something other worldly about her which I think drew me in.
As it’s the first book in a four part series I am excited and interested to see how the story unfolds. I thought this was a brilliant debut and I would recommend if your interested in historical fiction or Celtic mythology.
Thanks to @helenareadsandwrites and @instabooktours as well as #shadowfaxpublishing for a copy of this book in return for an honest review. I thought it was a great read
