My review

At 70 odd pages, this was the easiest read in recent times. But what made this novella interesting was the pace with which the sequences in Branna’s life occurred. Not a moment went where my mind wandered.

My first book by author Katherine Bryant, and I was delighted to find a dashing, impulsive main character who could fight with a sword alongside men, ride a horse, and use her brains during moments of strife. I like Katherine Bryant’s main character Branna, she was gumptious!!!

This was book 2 of the series, and it followed Branna’s journey from book 1, where she had to escape with her husband (apparently she was forced to marry him) and her brother-in-law, from his castle. On the way, on getting information that the enemy planned to capture her brother, she managed to find her brother Oren and his friend Sahil and fight their way to escape, leaving her husband and Lothia.

The book had a lot of fight scenes (my fav!!) and it showed Branna’s ingenuity on more than one incident. The only thing that niggled me was that ideally the books should be read in order to get a good idea of the situation and to familiarize with the main character, and this was not a complete book, it just felt like an intermediate journey to reach book 3 with its unanswered questions.

Overall, quick and enjoyable read about a brave warrior!!

I received a copy from the author, and this is my honest abd unbiased opinion.

My rating : 4 stars

  1. I find that many series of shorts that are called serials, slowly introduce characters and their traits, its maddening, but keeps you wanting more.
