I enjoyed this historical romance, mostly because of the strong and independent main character. Although she is of the era when women were simply property of men, married off to gain power or position, she fights against the system. She learns the skills of men, hunting, swordplay, and when her beloved brother is killed, she is able to put those skills to use posing as a boy in order to avenge his death. Her impetuous nature almost leads her to vengeance on the wrong man, but she stops in time, and then things get even more interesting.The author did a fine job of helping us believe in the story. She didn't overplay Annyn's skills or strength and we felt her suffering. Annyn struggled, but was never helpless or hopeless. I enjoyed the novelty of the setting, and although the olde English phrases took a little more concentration, it was worth the effort for the effect. A good story.
