Engrossing.......Truly Captivating, 2007-10-08
This story captured me from page one, book one. I loved every minute of this second book in the Dalriada Trilogy. Rhiann and Eremon are incredible lead characters and have worked their way in to my hearts. This story will remain with me long after others are forgotten.
The ending was not at all what I wanted, but makes the story as a whole no less poignant. The tragedy of the ending is believable, but their lives from that point on pale drastically in comparison to the grandeur of their previous roles in society. I wanted to fall to my knees and scream at the injustice of it all!
I am hoping for that justice, and clarity in the Mother's intricate plan, in book 3, The Boar Stone.

A Fantastic Continuation, 2007-05-04
I honestly entered this book expecting to be disappointed after some of the reviews I read. In truth it picks up nicely where the previous book left off, reintroducing us to the characters amidst their every day struggles as they try to eliminate those struggles to face the onslaught of Agricola and the Roman Army. I have to say that one thing I did notice was that a lot of moments I wanted to feel triumphant in left me feeling only slightly elated, and I'm not quite sure why. There were at least three instances throughout this book that I found myself longing for a bit more flare and oomph. That is not to say that Jules Watson's writing and characterization aren't flawless in their execution. I still feel a great attachment to these characters, no more than ever, and at this point May 17 can't get here soon enough.

 A really Enjoyable Second Book, 2006-07-22
AD 81 Britain is in the grip of a ruthless Roman official, Agricola, the Roman governor. He is intent upon subduing the remaining unconquered territory in the whole of Britain, Scotland or as the Romans called it Alba.
Rhiann is an Alban priestess who has been coerced into a political marriage to Eremon, an exiled Irish prince. But out of this joining of convenience has grown a powerful love story. In them lies the hopes of a whole nation.
Will they have the time to formulate any plans to thwart the forces of Rome, who are relentlessly advancing north toward Alba . . .
This book relates the story of a relatively small nation that is being remorselessly challenged by the might of one of the most powerful Empire's of the then known world.
I have been waiting in anticipation of this second book in the trilogy. I suppose I will now be doing the same for the third. Come on Jules get that word processor warmed up.
