Barbara Erskine, Child of the Phoenix Review

Overall Rating

It was hard to book the book down. I found myself reading while cooking dinner and trying to sneak in a chapter while brushing teeth or getting ready for work. It drew me in within the first two chapters and then I was hooked.

Some names were a little harder to make out. This obviously is due to the era that the book is set in, names were obviously of the old world. The story grew slower at the end however the content was still good.

It was a good story that really pulled me into it. Half the time I felt like I was Eleyne while reading it. The descriptions of areas and castles were good, I could almost sense and feel where each character was in the story. I would certainly recommend this for anyone who does read historical romance novels, or anyone who enjoys a good story. I may even read it a second time it was that good.
