A review by satyridae
Flambards by K.M. Peyton

4.0

I do love a good horse story. And this, all other considerations aside, is a damn good horse story. There's also a plucky orphan and some misunderstood boys and some downtrodden servants and an evil sot of an uncle. So it's not like there's nothing for you non-horsey folks. There's plenty of fox-hunting that ends badly for the foxes, so do be warned about that if you're squeamish about fox blood smeared on people in a ritualistic manner and the like. (Is that a spoiler? I don't think so, but I'll tick the box on the review anyway. Just in case.)

I was surprised at how absorbing I found this book. I want to read the rest of 'em now.
