Review: Princess of Bretagne-Medieval and Mystical Adventures
Rating: 5 out of 5

Mystical and at times harsh, Princess of Bretagne is faithful to the history and customs of the time it is set it. The characters are all well written and they show a measure of growth and maturity as the story progresses. I felt that Ms Schartz took me back in time, to experience the Viking invasions and the harsh and violent times of this medieval period. The dialog was well done, and I was happy to see that Ms Schartz did not fall back on the device of everyone being able to speak some common language, and letting people learn more about each other's culture, bit by bit. I also liked that she didn't sugarcoat conditions in the towns and villages, showing the hard lives many lived. This first book in Ms Schartz's new series is well worth the time and I was lost in the past and the lives of the characters in this book. I look forward to more of Pressine's story in the future.
