Book Of Blade and valor

The world recreated here is hundreds of years behind us and so the story writing is especially difficult Cheryl Alleway has crafted a story that transports the reader back to a wild and lawless time when Scots were at war with the English and life was brutal to say the least The story has at times the broad sweep of a Hollywood epic and at others a very personal resonance as the actors struggle not only against the English threat to the south but also against the marauding gangs and clan feuds on their own land The descriptions of the wild terrain in which much of the story takes place are skilfully done.

Writing a novel is a difficult thing to do it s especially difficult when the author has to create a world unfamiliar to most people and make it believable for the reader This is a problem faced by writers of science fiction and historical fiction With Of Blade and Valor presenting the reader with enough information to visualise the author s understanding of this world And the author doesn t pull her punches either some of the battle scenes are blood thirsty and graphic and not for the faint hearted This was a brutal time conditions for many were wretched so this is how things should be depicted to make them twee would not help the story There is romance here too as Deb the lead character comes of age as the story progresses and she battles against the many obstacles coming her way The cast of characters is wide too inter generational and from a broad range of classes The wealthy have roles to play here as do the downright poor and their roles in that period are captured nicely I believe this is Cheryl Alleway s first novel and she has done a fine job with this piece of work The only point I would make and this is purely a personal preference I would like the story to have been told from fewer points of view I think this might have helped make the adventure a little tighter but as I say this is just a personal preference 1304121828
