Rating: - Not as good as 'Lady of Hay'
Like others before, I too was very reluctantly disappointed in this book as it did repeat the same things over and over again. The characters always seemed to be doing the same things but in different locations. The best BE novel to my mind was 'Lady of Hay' and I have read and own them all. Of course, a lot of research must have gone into this and it IS very entertaining and yes I DID find it difficult to put down - but all the time getting more and more exasperated by the repetition .... perhaps ...

Rating: - Daughters of Fire by Barbara Erskine
I absolutely loved all Barbara Erskine's previous books. I was so much looking forward to reading her latest novel. What a complete disappointment it turned out to be. I thought I'd try and get into the storyline and even put it away for a few months. Could not finish off the book as I was much too annoyed and wanting the same magic as the other books provided. I have sent this book to my mother-in-law to see what she thinks of this latest addition.

Rating: - Immeasurably disappointing
This was the first of Erskine's novels that I read and I was thoroughly disappointed
There are a number of problems I had with the novel;
-In Daughters of Fire Erskine attempts to link the present day to the past; a time when the Roman Empire invaded Britain. The present day focuses on a historian named Vivviene whose attempts to write an historic novel about the Celtic Queen Cartimandua are hampered by dreams and visions of the life of Cartimandua which the reader is supposed to believe ...
