DARK WINDS RISING (QUEEN BRANWEN #2) BY MARK NOCE is the second in the series of historical fiction set in Wales. I found the book hard to put down until the very end as it is so moving, so fast paced and loaded with battles not only on the field but off, not only between friend and foe but husband and wife! Mr Noce took me straight back to a time where men fought the battles and women, especially queens, sat around doing nothing, but not in queen Branwen's case! Branwen is right there, in the field with her bow and arrow and her husband fighting the barbaric Pictish armies.
Branwen is an incredibly tough female in a time when females are not supposed to be tough they are supposed to just be! Branwen is a complex character as well, with her bow, her falcon & her knowledge of the old ways she is fighting all the enemies and trying her best to protect not only her son but her kingdom and her life!
I recieved this book free from goodreads in exchange for an honest review
