Summary: A Daughter of Bast
Review: As I started this book I found my self thinking how much I had in common with Veleda. Doesn't every teenage girl understand her fustriation at knowing something so important and yet no one will listen. The people of her village are like a frog set in water over the eye of a stove. They dont realise the water's gotten to hot untill it's to late. But yet she persists and in a way prevails. This is a excellent book and I cannot wait for the rest of the series.

Summary: I see myself
Review: I feel like I am a newly found daughter of Bast! Reading Sarah Isador's book provided such vivid imagery of feminine power, spirit and force in the world, not just on the obvious plane of everyday reality, but far beyond, to the spaces of the imagination and the soul. I could identify with the main character: I kept thinking, "what would I do?" I couldn't put it down. Read it and imagine the possibilities!

Summary: Celtic Fiction
Review: I think this author is as good as Marian Zimmer Bradley, and I hope she continues on with this series. I enjoyed how she fleshed out the history in her book, along with describing the life of a priestess. Plenty of adventure and a lot of magic, which makes it fun!

Summary: Historically wonderful, but flawed
Review: Simply, Ms. Isadore frequently seems to forget what she's really writing about. Many times, she will spend dozens of pages describing one event that later on ends up not very important. Other parts and characters are rushed over with little other thought as she spents too much time on how Mau's tail moves when he washed his paws.Historically, this is an intriguing book. I was fascinating by the idea that much of it was based on the texts written by Caeser himself. The detail with which she tells of Celtic life is excellent, but not always key to the plot. The ending and the beginning were the only truly satisfying parts for me. The end was wonderful, creating a twist you wouldn't have suspected, but the middle is slow, dragging on and on with battle after battle and very little actual plot development. I understand this story is about the conquest of Gaul, but there is so little character development here to keep a reader interested. If you're looking for action and quick battle and such, this book is not for you, but if you are interested in historical presentations of a fantasical story, it worth a read.
