"Great From Beginning To The End" according to Maritza D.. The story had me on my toes from the beginning to the end. I finished it in two days and the ending left me with a desire to see what else happens. I got it as a Kindle on Samsung free monthly download and couldn't have been happier.I'm going to try to explain it without giving away too much information. This is a fiction book of a war that takes place to combine countries, regain or increase royal positions, and over power different families. The characters names, places, and relationships were all charted, and explained before the chapters began; as well as the form of pronunciation which I appreciat. Easy reading, I was worried about the Welsh names Alan Easy reading, I was worried about the Welsh names but they did not get it the way. A book about very cruel and bloody times, about those who want power and will kill and keep on killing no matter what the cost in human life to achieve it. This is the history of the human race, you should read it to see what we were like in the past, maybe some will feel we have not progressed all that far today.. "I do not recomend this book." according to María - Amazon Customer. The book did not meet my expectations. The characters are not developed. The situations do not look realistic. Eveyrhing is plain and somehow childish. Welsh history deserves a better story.
