Captives is a very well-rounded, wonderfully in-depth book concerning the historical aspects of 1st Century Spain and France,(known than as Iberia and Gaul) with a twist of magic. The main characters, Druids Mallec and Rhownen, are passionate, intriguing individuals that are very easy to relate to, finding ways to over come both external and internal conflicts while also battling works and wonders of the divine, not to mention numerous complex and coniving enemies. As always, I highly recommend reading the first book of the series, titled Druids, before attempting to read this one. The authors do a very good job of piecing it all together and not making anything confusing for the reader, but it is always more practical to relate and identify with the characters, the plot, the scenerios and the themes by being exposed to them in earlier phases of their lives, so we can grow and learn with them on the way. Overall, a wonderful book, can't wait for the third book, Warriors.
