A Painted Winter (Pictish Conspiracy #1) by H. Barnard

3.0

Definitely not my type of read however, I thought it was a very intriguing read and it did hold my attention. I felt the need to read this book as it was set in Scotland (and being from Scotland couldn’t wait to read it) it was a great book and I enjoyed the historical fiction side of things.

It was a quick, fast-paced book with a lot of twists and turns. I really don’t know anything about Pictish or Celtic Mythology so this was great to learn and although I did need to google somethings, it never took away from the book.

I love how the book is told in multiple POV which for me is always a bonus with a book and very interesting as we learn about the characters thoughts in more depth.

I think this is a fantastic debut novel and set perfectly at the end for book 2. You can tell a lot of research went into the book. @helenareadsandwrites you’ve done an amazing job, the book is a fantastic debut novel and you should be very proud. I can’t wait for book 2!

Thank you to @instabooktours for another amazing tour and for giving me a spot.
