The Dawn Stag, Jules Watson i World Reading Circle (oktober 2013)

Anmeldelser

Ik had nog nooit iets gelezen van haar, maar dit boek smaakt naar meer. Het is een verhaal over een priesteres, die haar land wil beschermen tegen de romeinen en dat gaat natuurlijk niet helemaal zoals zij het graag zou zien. Dit is een boek met veel meer inhoud dan ik van tevoren dacht. Het is ook de eerste van een serie. Ik ga dan ook absoluut de vervolgen halen.

I didnt know this was based on a legend.

Some retellings try to add something new but this just repeats the original story,albeit with different characters viewpoints and fleshing out of the story a bit.

But its done in a very boring way and the story is depressing.

I couldnt bring myself to take an emotional interest in any of the characters. Ended up skimming through the rest of it. Serious letdown.

I'd already read the first two books in the trilogy, The White Mare and The Dawn Stag, so I was already familiar with Jules Watson's style, of bringing spirituality - in the form of alternative healing, visions and the like - into what were sweeping historical dramas. The characters were interesting (once Rhiann had stopped wailing about how unworthy she was); and the descriptions of place and events well drawn.
But this book, the third and final in the trilogy, took a different and unexpected turn.
I expected it to carry on where the second left off, with the characters who survived the first two books and/or their descendants. The third however has moved on 300 years to Roman Britain in 366AD. Minna, a young Roman serving girl, has lost her home and her family and has to fend for herself in a world that until now she had been protected from. She is desperate to reach her brother, a soldier at the northern frontier. While there are repeated references to Rhiann and Eremon, the main characters from the first books, there is a bit too much "priestessing" for me in this one - and unfortunately the mystery and magic of the earlier stories were replaced by a what for me was a far less credible environment.

An outstanding follow-on from The White Mare. The author obviously knows her stuff - and this knowledge, awareness and real interest in the era, people & lifestyle portrayed, enabled the creation of a vivid, imaginative and thoughtful novel (indeed novels) with real depth. In short, I was swept away by the story and the imagery.

I bought both The White Mare and the Dawn Stag at the same time - which was a good move, as it meant I didn't have to wait to carry on reading the next instalment of this top trilogy.

And, whilst taken aback by the ending, I was not disappointed - rather, excited by the potential of the final instalment. I await the next and final instalment - The Boar Stone - with bated breath!
