I think I'm actually being generous with 3 stars. The book moves real slow but my biggest complaint is the amount of information we get on hawks. Falconry, hawks, what they eat, how they sleep, sizes, colors, shapes, everything you can imagine about hawks in medieval times. It was a manual for hawk owners, paragraphs and paragraphs of useless info on hawks. There is a metaphor about the hero being like a hawk (hence he is the Laird of the Wind) so the hawk references were supposed to beWorthy Hawk-Themed Medieval Romance This was my first by Susan King and I really enjoyed it. She paints rich visual images of the times and the places and the characters are well described and memorable.Set in Scotland in the early 14th century, this is the story of Isobel of Aberlady who has a gift of visions that describe events to come. Her father and the family priest guard her gift and take notes when she has the visions as she remembers nothing afterwards. Believing he will protect her,
This takes place just after William Wallace, a 1300's leader in the Wars of Scottish Independence, was captured and killed, as gruesomely depicted in Braveheart.This is about one of Wallace's friends and fellow freedom fighters.Every scene in this book is lyrical, lush, sensual and compelling. Every scene, not just the g-rated sex scenes, but every moment - from the fierce and bloody battles to the hawk training to the heroine's prophetic trances - every moment is so vivid it's almost like
Okay, so I ran a marathon of Susan King novels in my trip to Europe. Sorta. And I've discovered a few things. First, that my most 'critical' reviews are often of books I end up rating 5 stars. I guess that's probably because I find more stuff to critizice when I'm actually paying attention to/caring about the book. Secondly, that Susan King has a strict formula to make these books. So far I've only read The Sword Maiden, Black Thorne's Rose, and Laird of the Wind and I had to admit, they are all
This book being a Scottish Historical Novel and with William Wallace in the mix I always very interesting to me. I thought this was very well thought Out and the story line of the Prophetess was intriguing. I love Susan King's work.And the lady always gets her warrior!
Well, as a treatise on hawking, it's exceptional, an excellent resource. As a love story ... well, I liked the characters and I liked their interactions but the relationship was buried beneath the incredibly detailed story of the hero training a goshawk.
Nicely written fluff....really got into the hawk info.
