Everyone and their mother was complaining about the pacing but i had no such issue. On the contrary i had such a great time and never ever did i feel like there was a dull moment - could have gone even longer but that what the next book is for.
All is part of Fitz's journey through life and in enough detail but not overwhelming or boring. He is still a teenage boy trying to navigate and survive politics at court as well as caring out his duties for his king AND wanting to have a life. Although I am not a fan of Molly and their relationship, it is important. (Its not too much romance and i am very grateful for it. ) Keeping in mind Fitz and Molly are very young and didn't have any parental guidance of a healthy relationship, it feels realistic for their irrational behaviour. Yes i wanted to slap her and him once or twice. Other characters continue to deepen my love and hate for them equally. I am particular in love with Lady Patience and Lacey. Still there are many unanswered questions. Really looking forward to the next book. ...more

oh my ! poor Icel .. why can't he ever catch a break. i want to cuddle him and tell him that everything is going to be alright! another great book by oh my ! poor Icel .. why can't he ever catch a break. i want to cuddle him and tell him that everything is going to be alright! another great book by MJ Porter showing the grizzly times Icel is living in. Battles are not heroic but they stink and are hard on the men. so much sensless slaughter there had been in the medieval times. Fascinating how the wounds were treated and how much knowledge about herbs were used to treat warriors and common folk alike to keep them alive. Cannot wait for the next book!

Very good start to the series. I especially liked the dragons as characters and their interactions with the people around them. Really nice but low chVery good start to the series. I especially liked the dragons as characters and their interactions with the people around them. Really nice but low character-work and the start of a wide world that I would love to explore further. I am still a bit confused about some things concerning the characters and where they fit in but intrigued enough to continue the series. This book is a set-up for a broader adventure to come and I cannot wait to dive into the next book....more
The 3rd book in The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles starts with the aftermath of book 2. Icel and the reader do not really know where his place is supposedThe 3rd book in The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles starts with the aftermath of book 2. Icel and the reader do not really know where his place is supposed to be. is he a warrior or a healer ?! and also poor Icel - you want to protect him - he is one unlucky young man at times. I love him. He is such a good man and he is trying to find his place in the harsh world that were the dark ages/middle ages in Saxon-Britain. As the reader you get some more information on the times and history as well as how pple were living. I love that MJ always makes you feel the time-period as well as the people going their ways (trying to survive). Second half of the book takes off and battle is again upon Icel and his fellow mercians. MJ manages to really make you feel and smell the horror that is medieval battle without glorifying anything. Absolutely believable. Loved it! cannot wait for Book#4 ! ...more
There is always so much emotion and heart between the lines for the characters and the history. I absolutelyAnother 10/10 in the Bernicia Chronicles.
There is always so much emotion and heart between the lines for the characters and the history. I absolutely adore Beo and all his men and with each book you feel like coming home to friends and the comfort of good people and great bloody battles. I love the series so much - and dare I say it - its better than the Saxon Tales but psst don't tell Uhtred. ...more
