Merissa (13585 KP) rated Celtic Maidens in Books

Dec 17, 2018

I was given this book by a friend who knows of my love of "fantasy" books and folklore / mythology. This was an absolutely magnificent read that draws you in from the first page and keeps you guessing until the end. Exceedingly well written with characters you can associate with. I have to admit that my favourite part of the book is actually the location of Wales and therefore the folklore given is Welsh. It make such a refreshing change to read about Wales' history and not just Ireland.

Would highly recommend it to simply everyone!!!

Direct sequel to [b:Post-Human|7105194|Post-Human (Post-Human, #2)|David Simpson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1400409353s/7105194.jpg|7363719], picking up roughly a year and a half after the events of that previous novel.

The entire Human Race has been returned to life (don't ask - read the previous novel), but they are about to come under threat again, this time from extra-terrestrial rather than terrestrial enemies.

As before, however, things are not always what they seem ...

Once again, this was an OK read, but nothing spectacular.

With another 4th of July in the books, I can't help but think about people in today's world still having to fight for different freedoms and rights. One fight, or charette rather, to end school segregation took place in North Carolina in 1971 that brought together the best of enemies and the unlikeliest of friends, a black activist Ann Atwater and a KKK leader C.P. Ellis. Best of Enemies is a really good movie with a wonderful cast that tells this particular story beautifully. Here's to love always triumphing over ignorant hate.

Gripping and dry

What I love about Jane Harper's books is the biggest character is always the landscape the story takes place in. Force of nature is set in one of Australia's cold and dark national parks, rugged and unforgiving and so the atmosphere is set. Take office politics up a notch to a brutal level and add intriguing and constant suspense and you will find it difficult to not read just another chapter. If you like crime novels Harper's and human and most importantly believable. Won't get a better thriller/crime novel this year
