This story has a lot of heart - not just in the romance part but in other friendships too. It is a feel good book for sure. It was so what easy to predict but the writing style made it worth continuing.

IT ROckS !!!!!! Like Readin Books!!!!!! ok ok i like other books to but NICO BRAVO Is The BBBBBBBEEEEEEESSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed this book. A very revenant topic. Told from several different perspectives.

4 stars for another rousing historical fiction book by Bernard Cornwell. This is the 51st book that I have read by Cornwell and I enjoyed all of them. I recommend that you start this series with book 1, The Last Kingdom. It is the story of Uhtred of Bebbanburg. In this book, Uhtred faces a new enemy, Skoll, a Norseman, defeated by Celtic warriors in Ireland and now living in Northumbria. He kills one of Uhtred's family and Uhtred swears revenge. I think that Cornwell writes the best battle scenes of this period--about 9th to 10th century. They are so vivid that you can imagine yourself watching the battle in real life. This series has been adapted into a miniseries, available on Amazon Prime, called The Last Kingdom. The miniseries is pretty faithful to the books. One quote: Uhtred on god: "The men who fought for me worshipped a dozen gods and goddesses, The Christian god among them, but if a man believes the nonsense that there is only one god then there's no point in arguing because it would be like discussing a rainbow with a blind man." I read this library book book in 5 days.

newly discovered author, i have heard of her , but never got around to reading, until now! will read other books by this author. great book. kept me guessing until the very end!

Excellent historical fiction, takes place during the Civil War and is written from the perspective of a southern family. What I didn't realize until I finished it, there is an extra chapter at the end which tells you that it is based on a trued story. Some of the characters are using their real names and taking place on Carntion Plantation which is a real place that is still there today. Very good story.

Rebecca reveals exactly what it was like to be trafficked. This story had me laughing, crying, che king my assumptions and ripped open. Rebecca's coming to faith story is so inspiring!

This book was not as good as Uprooted was but it was still well written. It was written in multiple different view points, which I think added to the story but there were times when it was hard to tell which person was narrating the story. I've also found that while most of her plot lines are well developed, her romance plot lines are not. They feel out of place and like they just put that as an afterthought. It felt abrupt and unnecessary to the plot, and took away from the magic of the story. Overall though it was a good book, and it's good if you ignore the poorly written romance

Wanted to like this book even tho it was obvious from the beginning it was a fluff book. The characters were all over the board and I found myself not caring much about the outcome.

Great story. Patterson has added another author to his crew
