Summary: Celtic Connundrum
Comment: I have read all of Erskines previous books so eagerly await any new offering.
Only trouble is she is so formulaic, its the same novel plot over and over again.I wish for once she would come out of her comfort zone and surprise me.
Good points , learning about Celtic Britain and Roman Times with a mix of early Christianity thrown in.
Bad points, plot all over the place.Characters very annoying and having read so many of her works i sadly guessed most of what was going to happen.The ending after nearly 500 pages was weak.
Ive given it 4 stars because she is a good story teller but Barbara stretch yourself next time and come up with a different plot for once.

Summary: the Warrior's Princess
Comment: Fantastic book, especially as it was set in the village where my great grandmother used to live and is buried in the churchyard of St Eigons Church. Once again, Barbara Erskine has written a wonderfully, descriptive story, enabling the reader to imagine themselves in Rome and Wales. I love her present day characters and how thier lives entwine with those of the past. Please hurry up and write the next book.I have to say my favourite book is Lady of Hay.

Summary: Warriors Princess
Comment: I am an avid fan of Barbara Erskine, have all her books and have been waiting for her latest - The Warriors Princess - what a disappointment. I found it extremely difficult to get to the end - I wanted to give up but stayed with it to see if there was any improvement. I asked myself several times "has Barbara Erskine really written this book?" I can't believe it. I usually cannot put down her books, but this is the biggest disappointment ever. Hope the next one is better.

Summary: Brilliant !!
Comment: Another masterpiece,the books just get better and better. Once again the author has woven the past with the future, great story, great characters
it has it all. Mystery, violence, murder and that certain chill factor that only Barbara Erskine can create. An absolute page turner, I could not put it down and already on a second reading ! A great read by a great author that left me wanting more.

Summary: Really sorry to be negative
Comment: For the first time ever, I have been unable to finish a Barbara Erskine. I'm a fan of her work, read all her books, buy them in hardback on the day of release, normally have them in pre-order with Amazon for months in advance. A month down the line, I've not finished this book and this morning I've taken the bookmark out and I've given up. I simply don't care what happens. I've no interest in the characters, found them incredibly annoying and can't relate to them at all. I'm gutted. I'm giving it a 3 just in case it's my own tastes that have changed. I will be buying her next one, after all, her last one, I read in 2 days flat, this one, it's been a hard slog and I've not reached the finish line. Sorry!
