"One of my Favorite Rosemary Sutcliff books. Several of her books are listed as young adult but frankly are so well written and sometimes deal with some pretty adult stuff I'm not sure why.
She effectively evokes the mood and scenes that draw you into the ancient British lands. While it has been many years I still remember the dolphin ring and the oath calling on the mountains to fall on the oath taker if they did not keep their word. Probably one that I could stand to re-read soon."
"I didn't like this one as well as "The Eagle of the Ninth" and "The Silver Branch;" it was darker, sadder, and with more realism. Set in, what, the 6th century? after Rome pulled out of Britain. Also, it spans some 25 years, a real long time for a YA novel. But it's basically very good and makes me want to go to Wales."
