When a book can make you cry in the first 50 pages, you know you're in for a ride.
If you're looking for impeccable research + all the feminine rage, look no farther than this series.

I don't think I'll continue with the third. Too many battle descriptions which I'm just not into.

I have to confess I struggled a little to finish this book. I wanted to like it, but I couldn't care less about many of the characters. I was looking forward to reading the chapters told from the perspective of Angharad. But everything else was kind of dragging. Anyway, if you like historical fiction you might like this. I liked Mists of Avalon, but I was not a huge fan of this particular book.

Not a bad read. I stayed interested and read pretty quickly but there's a lot of plot points that just don't have follow-through.
Spoilers below:
1. The biggest one is the raid on Tutgual's place near the end. Lailoken describes it a bit, the chapter ends, and then the next chapter picks up six years later. All Langueth has to say about it is that everything has been rebuilt. There's almost no fallout or significance to it.
2. What happened to Brodyn? Maybe He'll pop back up in book 3.
3. Why did the Dragons kill the man sent to trade for Angharad? Why did Langueth not ask Fendrin or Lailoken? It doesn't make sense that someone would just go rogue when all the Dragon leaders wanted to get Angharad to safety.
