Magheen

Rating:
Summary: Drags a Little
Review: While King Henry VIII of England enjoys wine and sumptuous feasts and all sorts of women, his soldiers are terrorizing the Ireland, raping, pillaging, and burning.

Magheen O'Neill is a fiery, spirited Irish princess, granddaughter of the famous warrior Con O'Neill. She is determined to rid her beautiful land of the Sasanach(English invaders).

To unite Ireland, Magheen forsakes true love and marries into a powerful Sean-Ghall(foreigners who have accepted the Irish ways) family. This brings her much sorrow, especially when King Henry does his last act of treachery...

I thought Magheen was too stereotypical a heroine, a little too perfect. She is drop-dead gorgeous AND smart AND physically fit AND on and on and on. Also, the story dragged, and some parts were rather unrealistic.
