Seems like I would enjoy this one! The main character's story appeals to me as strong as my yearning to know more about Scottish history. Thank you for your review!

Such a detailed yet not an over-flowing review! Got me scheduling a good few couple of hours before bed for sure to dedicate to this interesting creation, congratulations to the author. Also might sneak out an hour or two in the day as would be possible at a stretch. The analogy of the "realistic Lord of The Rings" was just apt! The best thing which this review describes is the realistic narration of emotions, events, states of mind and being in the book, these are exactly those rare yet chord-striking elements which hook readers to a book. A period drama spanning aptly over some three years and the scheduled description of events, selection of portraying the important events only and less of stretched out narration are some of the pickup points of this book as conveyed by this review, thanks to the reviewer for just listing out just the required points and peculiarities of the book which deserve it a good read.

A historical fiction book, involving the English empire and the Scottish people, is a must read since I haven't learnt much on the topic, thank you for the review

An epic book indeed! I would have thought much of the comparison of the book with The lord of the ring, as it entails solving a problem that is conversant to the evil of the book.
