Great read. ( )

For the most part, this is an interesting story. Llywelyn does a good job of developing Brian from a somewhat unlikable character early in the story to a decent, compassionate leader at the end. It was a bit frustrating that he never developed any skills in communicating with his son or wives on a personal level. Maybe that was because of the times in which they lived. There are a few unanswered questions with some of the characters. What ever happened with Fiona and why does Brian barely think about her? What happened with Fiona's daughter and why does Padraic forget her so quickly? What was going on with the naked woman Brian met at the seaside? ( )

"This island is so beautiful I've just got to take it over!" says the man as he has sex with his own granddaughter. ( )

It been a long time since I read one on Morgan Llywelyn book. I got to say it is good read as always for me. She can really draw you in to the story and keep you going. Most of her books are stand alone, so if you haven't read one of her book it easy to pick on up with worrying if you are in a middle of a series. ( )

Bellissima rivisitazione del mito di Brian Boru, condottiero irlandese della fine del 900, che lottò per l'unificazione dell'isola contro i vichinghi.
Bel libro avvincente ed epico. ( )
