...I mean, it's so long it can't help but turn into an epic. You know, after it reaches that point where you think the story is over, but then it keels going and segues into another one?The blurb makes it sound like a clusterfuck and the clusterfuck definitely happened and I had no idea what the hel...

Well that sure was an antidote to my contemporary m/m funk. There was a speculative and thought provoking take on early Christianity. Also an ass-backwards captive prince like story line. And of course a romance. I liked this book and the writing was very good, but nothing that sends me sque...

This was a beautifully written book. BotWNS was so engaging and had such richness. The characters were well written and memorable. I loved Cai and Fen... Danan was my favorite. Lots of mysticism, but I felt that there was something lacking on the religious aspect. It felt too modern, although ...

This book sang to me. The cadence, prose, metaphors, themes. I've had an itch for a Nagron-like book and also have a fetish for the inner turmoil of hot monks/priests, as they are men afterall.

Jenre`s reviewI would have liked it even more if the author had taken the fantasy elements/myths out of the viking raids and the celtic christianity.My favorite historical era - familiar like a well worn glove.You have to be a very bad author to louse that up for me. But Harper`s prose perfectly fit...

The setting is the monastery on the island of Fara Sancta off Northumberland in the 7th century AD. Also known as ...

Fen, the magnificent warrior takes part in the annual marauding, but is more than surprised to find his match in a squalid monastery on the very fringes. Cai, heir to a warlord and recently converted is more than ready to take arms when trouble visits their rocky shore. He is a charming mix of earth...

3.5 stars, rounded to 4 starsBrothers of the Wild North Sea (BWNS) was different from what I expected, but still pleasantly surprising. My only prior experience to Harper Fox was Scrap Metal, which I DNF (*ducks from the tomatoes*), but it's easy to recognize her lyrical prose - writing that is as e...
