A great review. I liked your in depth description of the story line, and your review made me want to read the book. I love myths and history, and with your review I can’t wait to find out how the love story ends.

The book's plot sounds enticing. I may not be familiar with Celtic history but I know a little about the Romans and I find it hard to let this book pass without reading it. Wonderful review cristinaro.

I have enjoyed reading your review. I wish I could have been able to read the sample but it is not available for purchase. It sounds like a thrilling book.
But the path I’ve chosen has always been the right one, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. :)

Thanks for the in-depth review of this great historical fiction. I have to say that I may not related to all the historical incidences of the Romans and Celtic but I do think that this is a very good story. Congrats to the book of the day.

This is indeed an intriguing plot. Though not a fan of historical or romance books, this is really captivating.
Thanks for the great review.

It will be a pleasure reading on the Celtic and Roman legends as well as the impossible love affair between Marcellus the son of a Roman Senator and Catrin the daughter to a Cantiaci King. Thanks for the enjoyable review.

Celtic and Roman history with a fantastic magical twist! Your review is impressive as well as you highlight the features of the book like the shifting views and how it contributes to the readability of the book. I liked that women have a great presence here despite the historical genre. Thanks for the review!

I don’t like historical fiction, but the part about the Roman and Celtic myths and beliefs you mentioned has me interested, as I do like myths and legends. This is going on my to read list.

Sounds like an epic, medieval tale of forbidden love and mystical adventures, blended with Celtic myths and legends. This one should shoot tremors up the spines of lovers of the genre. Thanks for sharing the tale with us.
