If you like your medieval romances spiced with a little sword and sorcery, you'll love Vijaya Schartz's "Princess of Bretagne." Set in the dark ages as Christianity spreads across Europe in conflict with the old ways and Vikings raid the coasts, the book is in ways reminiscent of Marion Zimmer Bradley's "The Mists of Avalon" with its Lost Isle and women of mystery and power. Well written and factual, the book weaves history with fantasy and magic into a story that I could not put down. Schartz's characters are well drawn and complex, a splendid cast of heroes and villains. And it ends on a note of uncertainty that had me eagerly awaiting its continuation in the next in the series.
