Brilliant

I loved this book and am eager to read/hear more.
However the excellent narrator really helped the book to get it's title of brilliant.

Great story of romance and adventure.

Loved the character of Shea and her development through the novel as she comes to terms with who she is and what she stands for. The male lead, the warlord Fallon was very believable as a violent man who has a vision for a peaceful future for his people. The conquering of the lowlands and his reasons for doing this was explained well. I liked the fact that this was slowly revealed over the course of the book. Really well narrated too. I’m buying the next!

Finally a strong female character!!

I absolutely loved this book! The main character was so kick ass and strong it was such a nice change front the usual damsel in distress rubbish that I’ve been listening to recently. I couldn’t put this down and listened to it within a day and a half!! Now I will admit it does have slightly slow start to it while itS trying to tell you about the characters and what not but that only lasts probably for an hour or so. The world she creates is absolutely amazing and is very vivid. The narrator did a wonderful job on the characters and you could really feel there personality coming out while she’s reading it. It has easily become one of my favourites.And I will definitely be checking out her other books

Good story

Really enjoyed this, and it was very nearly a 5 star read. However the last few hours with the relationship and plot line development let it down a bit - which is a shame after the rest of it was so great. Still very much recommend it regardless of that.

I got this because I enjoyed Elizabeth Vaughan’s Warprize, and this was a recommended read. I’d say that’s a pretty accurate recommendation.

only at chapter 12 but I love it!

Finally! A book with a likable strong female. I love it! Narration is good, storyline is good, I'm really enjoying this.

of course it turns into a whining contest

the story was unique and enjoyable
until the lead man became possessive and abusive and of course the woman just puts up with it and "falls in love"
the male character is totally out of character in a society where female warriors are accepted by the way.
way to upkeep poisonous traditions.

Pretty solid

Pretty solid. The world building and main character are great. The romance was a bit lacking since most of the book doesn't even have the couple interacting, but it was pretty fun to read. I'm surprised it's not on more people's list.

Decent read

Good strong writing and captivating story, I must admit I did think oh no not another post-apocalyptic novel but the author focuses on the present timeline and so far, steers away from over stating that the setting being after the decimation of vastly technologically superior ancestors, is the finales twist. I’m excited to see if the storyline continues in the same vein and am somewhat fearful that such a strong beginning will devolve into yet another of the same. FINGERS CROSSED

intelligent heroine

really enjoyed this book. great world building. good amount of suspense. good bit of humour. many names and things to learn in the beginning but we'll worth persevering with. particularly love how strong and determined the female lead is.
