The Blacksmith Queen (The Scarred Earth Saga #1)
by G.A. Aiken
What is it about:
The Old King Is Dead
With the demise of the Old King, there’s a prophesy that a queen will ascend to the throne of the Black Hills. Bad news for the king’s sons, who are prepared to defend their birthright against all comers. But for blacksmith Keeley Smythe, war is great for business. Until it looks like the chosen queen will be Beatrix, her younger sister. Now it’s all Keeley can do to protect her family from the enraged royals.
Luckily, Keeley doesn’t have to fight alone. Because thundering to her aid comes a clan of kilt-wearing mountain warriors called the Amichai. Not the most socially adept group, but soldiers have never bothered Keeley, and rough, gruff Caid, actually seems to respect her. A good thing because the fierce warrior will be by her side for a much longer ride than any prophesy ever envisioned …
What did I think of it:
I won this book in a giveaway, and even though this is normally more of a book for Voodoo Bride or Olivia, I decided to give it a try.
And this is a fun read!
Even with some serious things going on, this book is very entertaining and funny. The characters are larger than life, but that just makes it more fun. There isn't a dull moment in the book. I liked getting to know Keeley and her family, and the Amichai.
The book is the first in a series, and even though it doesn't end on a total cliffhanger, there are enough things still unresolved that I'm eager to discover what will be next. I'm suspecting the next book will have a different lead character, but if it is who I think it is, I'm very curious to see how her story will go.
Why should you read it:
It's a fun and enjoyable Fantasy read.
