review 1: I'm a sucker for medieval fiction, and although I think it's a stretch, at best, to describe this as "medieval"--it's after 1500, for gawd's sake!--the location of Ireland allows the setting to work for the late Middle Ages.Sure, the book was on the fluffy side, but it flowed well and was a quick read, with an entertaining juxtaposition between the heroine's dual careers as judge/lawer/investigator and head of a law school that consists mainly of young boys. You've got some good professional woman lit on one side, and some good mom lit on the other. Didn't add anything meaningful to my life or anything, but it was fun.
review 2: This is the 2nd book to feature Brehon Mara. I thought the 1st, "My Lady Judge," was a bit too obvious in terms of how the relationshi... moreps between the recurring characters would play out. This book is somewhat better in that regard, although at certain turning points in the plot there was no uncertainty in my mind how characters would behave. On the other hand, as far as I know the setting is unique (the Sister Fidelma books take place in the 7th century; these take place in the 16th). So if you're looking for something a little different, this is a good series to check out. For me, this series is a "library" or "paperback" read rather than a "wait impatiently for the UPS man to get here" read or a "hardback I'll get to eventually" read. less
