Thank you for the enlightening review! This book and the series will definitely be on my reading list. I always enjoy reading about historical fantasy, and it's a bonus that it involves Roman and Celtic elements.

Thanks for the captivating review. I'm a big fan of historical fiction series, especially one that is well researched. It has the capacity to give a clear peep into different kinds of culture. Its like having a front line sit in history. This sounds like it for me.

This book sounds interesting. The fact that it's a romance set in 24 AD seems fun. I'm glad that the book has fun characters, and is well researched, and organized. Thanks for your review.

Catrin stuck in between choices favoring her heart and the responsibility to her people sure sounds tough. I'm also a sucker for love triangles so I'm definitely going to be reading this. Thanks for the review.

I sampled the book on Amazon. This is the second book of the historical fiction series by Linnea Tanner. Catrin, the princess has the challenges to face in the kingdom. Linnea gets into the detail of the instances in the story in a profound manner. This is an interesting read for people interested in historical fiction.

Although historical fiction is not really my thing, it does sound like the author wrote an action-packed book with great character development. I like the romance aspect; the fact that the main character feels torn between her family and this forbidden love. I wonder if she will be able to erase the curse? Thanks for your great review!
