Review: Adventure and sub plots but some flaws too
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a medieval romance, with a good premise and some sub-plots, with a fair amount of action.  There is a fair amount of description of the people and time, although as an other reviewer has commented, there are elements not consistent with the time period. There are also some grammar and word usage errors (ie, pessaries which hinder pregnancy, not enhance the chances) but in truth way less than in the author's other book I have read - Greatt Protector. Parts of the story dragged for me, and I had a hard time liking Gray's 15 yr old daughter until close to the end of the book. She seemed immature, bratty and behaved, in my opinion more like an eight yr old than a 15 yr old from that era. She did get better, as did the story.  Overall, despite the flaws, an ok story that I spent the time to finish. 3.5 stars.
