My reason for abandoning this book after just a few pages

The heroine notices a man approaching and greets him.

Heroine:"Are you one of the fabled fey knights that have been known to roam this fair land?"
Hero:"Ummm..no.The king sent me."

*akward silence*

Im paraphrasing of course.But while I may enjoy some quirks in my historical romance heroines personalities...hers just came out completely ridicilous.

Sometimes a man is just a man .I could have understood if he did something magical to make her believe he was from out of this world.But the fact remains that he didnt. ( )

Not a bad Scottish medieval, but a trifle on the dull side.

Adorei!

The Stone Maiden é o primeiro volume da chamada Maiden Trilogy de Susan King. No entanto parece-me que cada volume pode ser lido separadamente, pois o fio das histórias não têm qualquer ligação que obrigue a ler as três para se atingir um conceito mais abrangente. Aliás, depois de andar a esmiuçar os vários títulos assinados pela autora percebi que ela inclusive interliga certos volumes de uma colecção, com outro livro que escreveu separadamente, criando uma nova colecção. Se é que me faço entender.
Trocadilhos à parte, vou explicar o que Adorei!
Em suma, tudo. Os cenários, os personagens, a estória e a história, o romance, a acção, os diálogos, os dilemas, etc. King consegue conjugar tudo de tal maneira que bem podemos estar a ler simples letras pretas em papel branco, que é um filme colorido em HD que se vai desenrolar naturalmente à frente dos nossos olhos, enquanto o fazemos.
Alainna MacLaren, uma protagonista digna do título, é corajosa, altruísta, dócil, e não fosse ela uma escocesa de cabelos ruivos, insubmissa quanto baste. Chefe de um clã de linhagem muito antiga, mas enfraquecido por um guerra interminável com o vizinho do lado, é constantemente angustiada com a perpetuação do nome MacLaren. É por isso, e por se ver ameaçada e assediada pelo inimigo logo ali ao lado, que certo dia se apresenta na corte do rei e apela à sua ajuda. Alainna deve desposar um guerreiro capaz de fazer frente ao inimigo; pois o rei envia-lhe, Sebastien.
Confesso que os casamentos arranjados estão entre os meus temas preferidos na secção, Para Dar Umas Boas Gargalhadas. Então quando ambas as partes não se podem ver à frente durante uma bom bocado, melhor ainda.
---------------------------------
Loved it.

The Stone Maiden is the first volume of the Maiden Trilogy by Susan King. However, it seems to me that each volume can be read separately, as the stories have no direct connection that requires reading the three to reach a broader concept. In fact, after scrutinizing the author’s work I noticed she even links certain volumes of a collection, with another book she wrote separately, creating a new collection. If I made myself clear.
Puns aside, I'll explain what I loved.
In short, everything. The scenery, the characters, the story and the history, the romance, the action, the dialogues, the dilemmas, etc.. King can put it all together so that we may well be reading simple black letters put together over white paper, but it’s a HD, color film that will unfold itself naturally in front of our eyes, as we do it.
Alainna MacLaren, a main character worthy of the title, is courageous, selfless, gentle, and was she not a Scottish red haired woman, insubordinated. Head of a clan of very ancient lineage, but weakened by an endless war with the evil neighbor, is constantly anxious about the perpetuation of the name MacLaren. That is why, one day, she presents herself at the royal court and calls for the king's help. Alainna is to marry a warrior able to deal with the enemy; and so the king sends her, Sebastien.
I confess that arranged marriages are among my favourite subjects in the section: To Laugh (in a good way). And if both sides can not get along for a great part of the book, even better. ( )

Ok historical romance set in 12th century Scotland. None of the characters really engaged me. ( )
