5.0

Such an epic story! I am fully engaged and invested with these characters. The political mechanations are woven into the story so well. The horses and hounds are bred for war and hunting, and play roles of their own as well as the other animals living on the land of The Boudica. I love the spiritual connection the people have to the land and the sea. 
The scene with Hale's death really took me by surprise, and I wasn't prepared for the tears.

I really look forward to the next book!
