A modern woman with a troubled past, Meg's life is in tatters when she slips through time and into medieval Wales ...
Only by working together can Meg and Llywelyn navigate the shifting allegiances that threaten the very existence of Wales--and create their own history that defies the laws of time.
Review 3 of 5 Stars:
This one was a mixed bag for me. I mostly read science fiction, fantasy, random science books and a mystery here or there, but time travel romances are my very occasional guilty pleasure. I'm a history nut and given that I was in the middle of a physics book it seemed like a good time for a little light reading on the side. So, I picked up Daughter of Time: A Time Travel Romance which is a prequel to the After Cilmeri series by Sarah Woodbury on a free promotion along with a couple of others to see if I could find one to read. This was definitely the best of the lot, didn't get deleted after the first two pages (as did the others), and I finished it without any problem. I mean it is what it is, but it wasn't bad for light reading of the time travel romance variety and I'm rating it with those things in mind. So I'm giving it a 3 because the history was interesting, language problems were explained and that sort of thing. There was no great explanation for the actual time travel, but sometimes that's better. If you sit down to read a time travel romance and expect too much then you're likely to be disappointed. It's something to take with a grain of salt and with that in mind (as I hovered between a 2 or 3 for the ranking), I decided on the 3 because it was basically enjoyable and it was free. There were some problems with the story line where it made me pause, but not so bad that I had to shut it and run away. I won't be reading it again, but some of it was really interesting and it was just barely a romance; very light compared to many out there and nothing graphic (pretty safe all the way around).
