The Jacobite Chronicles is one of my favorite series so this was a nice addition to flesh it out, tho I would not recommend reading it before the series since it would spoil some of the characters identities that are a mystery in the first book.

The beginning of this was a little slow at first but didn’t take too long to really get you invested, especially after being invested in the characters in the main series. I think what makes this all so interesting to me is the sense of intense loyalty and sacrifice the men and women of the clan had for each other and the emotional fearlessness they all had.

The writing and historical description was also so well laid out that it wasn’t laborious but painted a fantastic scene.
