review 1: I loved this book. Sultana is a beautifully written, magic-carpet ride through thirteenth century Gharnatah (Granada), then Moorish Spain. The suspenseful plot moves the reader along among love, lust and wars. The characters are real and engaging, Yarde’s writing is lush, yet pleasant to read, and perfect for the topic she is writing about. Thoroughly researched, Ms. Yarde places the reader in the time and place and opened my eyes into the world of Islamic Spain. This is what a good historical novel should do. I can’t wait to read the sequel!
review 2: In many ways, this is a three star book but I think it deserves another star for being about a time and a point of view that is rarely written about - medieval Moorish Spain.I read it on my Kindle. A paper b... moreound copy would have been much better as I couldn't easily flip to the much needed glossary. I've studied Spanish, been to Andulucia but still had trouble with Moorish variations on the Spanish names and places. less
