Colman by Monica Furlong

1.0

---

Published posthumously, this is the sequel to [book: Wise Child]. When Wise Child and Juniper are accused of witchcraft by their village, they escape with Finbar, Cormac and Colman and travel to Juniper’s homeland, where she lived first as a spoiled princess and then as an apprentice under Euny. Juniper’s previously happy country suffers under the rule of Meroot and the Grey Knight. Juniper and her friends join her countrymen in overthrowing the tyrannical rule. Unlike the first two books in the series, [book: Colman] suffers from stilted, stiff dialog and a plot that feels like its going through the motions. In fact, I found it unreadable.
