Magdalen Rising: The Beginning (Maeve Chronicles #1)
What an incredible book. Made me think, made me chuckle, made me nod my head up and down to the point of headache.
Good story!Interesting take on a story as old as time from a Celtic perspective. Enjoyable, for sure, but not a page turner for me.
Love this book! It is beautifully written with some truly wonderful imagery and prose. Highly recommend.
Judging a book by its cover. I did it and Im sad.For years Ive been wanting to purchase a series of books well the first one and then I realized that there is a series and it made me want them even more. Im a historical fiction nerd not the bodice rippers per se (except the Diana Gabaldon series of Outlander). I really love reading fiction based in paleolithic, neolithic, early britain, gaul, etc etc. Currently Im on a Saxon/Nordic binge.So, this series began because I saw the coolest book
A story about a young, Celtic Magdalene and a young Jesus, druids, mysteries, ancient times and undying love, so what's not to love about this brilliant book? Apart from Marion Zimmer Bradley's Avalon-saga, this was the most Pagan book I've ever read and I'll definietly read the complete tetralogy. The teenage Maeve/Magdalene is an awesome, fierce narrator, the story itself is living ancient magic, and one of the greatest love stories of all times. I can only recommend it to everyone!
Elizabeth Cunningham's book (originally sold under the title _Daughter of the Shining Isles_) tells the story of a woman raised by goddesses on a holy island. She goes to the druids to learn their ways, and there meets a man with whom she falls in love. Little does she know that this man would someday be known as Jesus Christ. This book is a fascinating discussion of paganism and Christianity, and explores the idea of what the "lost years" of Christ might have entailed. Definitely not for the
