A good book by a great author.
The book begins somewhat similar to The Falcon and the Flower (Young girl spiritually led in the faith of Old and protected by Grandmother only to be forced to marry or handfast in this case some Knight). The book develops the characters only partially to me. The Heroine is scared of the Hero for all of 2.5 seconds and then she is miraculously in love with him. The Hero just kind of dawdles around. Secondary characters steal the show, ie. The Bruce and Jory. Then the end comes way out of left field. The story still seems in progress and it ends. There are several loose ends that I would have loved to see finished, even in a 2 or 3 page epilogue if it must.
Overall, it's a good read and a pretty fast one for me. Definitely wouldn't rate it as one of Henley's best, but I wasn't so disappointed I didn't enjoy reading it.
