5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful alternative Scotland and how it could be!, April 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Queen of Ashes (Mass Market Paperback)
'The Queen of Ashes' was a wonderfully compelling read! I didn't put the book down until I finished it!!! I didn't know this was the second book in the series, and for some reason, I always seem to end up starting in the middle of a series. However, if you haven't read the first book, the second still is contained enough in itself to be comprehensive and wonderful. I absolutely loved this tale of a Scotland that could have been. I'm of Scottish descent, and I appreciate the beautiful weaving of the elements that characterized so much of Scotland then, the deep rooted superstitions and the coming of the new religion. Actually, my favorite character is Lord Charion, I always seem to love enigmatic, quirky characters. The way that different points of view are used are very well done, and I cannot wait to read the first book as well as all that follows! Thank you for an enjoyable, wonderfully transporting read!
