I've just started reading this, and aren't hooked into it yet. it's kind of mediaeval war type stuff.
later that day.. i've almost finished the book now, and am enjoying it. The plot is kind of the usual 'hero's tale' genre - the reluctant hero overcomes lots of trials and ends up victorious. There are a few bits of femisnism in it - e.g. the fact that the main character is female and good at physical combat and hated dresses and hairstyles. There are lots of pieces of eng -
There are lots of pieces of english folklore involved, and celtic names. it's post roman, durinf saxon invasions, loosely set in Wales, I think. The heroine is called Branwyn, and Rhiannon if the Spring is the goddess.

interesting - based on a strong but mixed up woman, looking back at her past in Tasmania. I really enjoyed this one - it made me think about complex family relationships and how they affect people's lives. It was also great reading something set in fairly familiar surroundings - small town rural coastal - similar to here. There were also plenty of amusing little things, but I can;t think of one right now! -
This is fantasy fiction, set in New York, and seen from a teenager's point of view. Involves Demons and demon hunters, runes and monsters. Mental chewing gum - entertaining but not much nutritional/intellectual value.

Another vampire novel.. last in the 'Vampire Academy' series, but a teenage author. This book rounded the story off nicely, with a bit of excitement, most loose ends tied off, and a happily-ever-after for Rose, Demetri, Lissa and everyone else.

oh dear - not another vampire novel! Actually, this one is a refreshing change from the teen-focussed ones. It was sometimes hard to follow, but the complex story was brilliantly woven together. NZ author, but set on the border between France and Italy.
