Review: Packed full for its short length
Rating: 4 out of 5

Here is where I admit that some history makes my eyes glaze right over, so this book sat on my Kindle (after being gotten free download) for over a year before I attempted it.  The first few pages I thought I would hate it with different clans, who was fighting who, etc., etc.  It just wasn't my thing, but it had good reviews so I wanted to read it.  Plus, it was a novella, again not usually my thing but I figured I wouldn't be reading it long anyway so gave it a shot.  I was paranormal style, which I do read.The many other reviews will give a basic synopsis, but it was an English serving girl with futuristic visions meeting up with a Beserker due to meet his demise the next day (per her vision), who was mute due to some mystical curse not fully explained.I was surprised as how I liked it.  The who fighting who I still had trouble with.  Scottish/English clans and wars are still not my thing.  But the story was interesting, and the author really showed talent by making this story so rich for how short it was.  There was a lot of backstory and info packed in so few pages.  I had to give it 4 stars for being able to engage someone not into historicals and not into novellas and make it like a story that was both.  Great read!
