DESCRIPTION:
From the AuthorBooks by Sarah WoodburyThe After Cilmeri Series: Daughter of Time (prequel)Footsteps in Time (Book 1)
"Good, but I feel like many authors are now" according to Crone Dancer. Good, but I feel like many authors are now writing continuing novellas rather than complete books, and I would prefer to purchase and read only one.. The Surprise Is P. Weiser I liked this, not so much for the Welsh early-medieval historical details or even the mystery, but the viewpoint character. Without surrendering to _angst_ she has worries, unrequited wants, and - while smart enough in the end - is genuinely flustered more than a bit of the time. It's a great, good thing to find a female lead who's neither more clever than everyone else nor in control of events but gets the job done.Kindle Edition: No typos or other blemishes - a little rare, and appreciated in this (still) early age of e-reading.. A cozy read. My first time reading a Sarah Woodbury book. Enjoyable, easy to read, and historically interesting. How nice to read something pertaining to Wales and things Welsh without having to also read about England and things English. As an aside, I viewed Ms Woodbury's web site and found it extremely well done, well thought out, thorough in its history of Wales, and overall very interesting. Looking forward to reading the next book in line.
