In the interest of full disclosure, this was my first "highlander" read, so if it sounds like I am not worldly or versed in the ways of the highlanders, it is only because I am not!!!I read this three-volume series over a weekend.  To me, they were more of a set of short stories, not novels or novellas.  However, to be fair, my poor husband never stood a chance - this series kept my interest late into the night!It was a lovely tale that took me on a roller-coaster ride.  Never knew what to expect, but loving a highlander such as this man was easy to do.  It kept my interest throughout, in spite of having battle plans (not a personal strong point of interest for me) and really sick war strategy from the other side (burning out entire villages just because they were in the way?  Killing everyone there?  Really?).  It became clear to my way of understanding how the lake witch was not trusted by anyone, because she was different than them, and it could almost have been a lesson for our time.A lovely set of stories that held my interest, and kept me entertained and looking for more work from the same author.  (Make no mistake, it was explicit.) Who could ask for more?  I would say definitely worth the time I spent reading, since I was unhappy that it was over (always a good sign).
