My Review of Empire's Daughter by Marian L Thorpe





Empire’s Daughter is set in a beautifully constructed world in a fictional historical time similar enough to our own to be credible and engaging, and close enough for us to hear and feel echoes of our own selves and our own past. The agricultural and fishing community is also different enough to challenge and intrigue us - a divided society underpinned by different values and sexual mores. At the heart of the book there is a central character / first person narrator with strength, courage and human frailties, with whom the reader cannot help but engage. She is surrounded by a range of credible and very real supporting characters.   There is jeopardy, danger, a quest. This book really does have it all. I cannot praise it highly enough. If the rest of the series is as good as this, readers will be queuing up to read it. Five stars all the way.
