Brilliant.It's as good as its prequel ,Kidnapped.
There is contrast between the two,as Kidnapped is set in the Scotish Highlands,amidst clan rivalry,whereas Catriona is set in the legal coruption and political intrigue of 18th century Edinburgh.I thoroughly enjoyed this book but there were a couple of chapters that were a bit lovey-dovey,which as a 13 year old boy I found extremly boring and uninteresting.It takes up the thread were Kidnapped left off with David Balfour going to give evidence against the hanging of James Stuart(James of the Glens)for his alleged part in the Appin Murder.I would give this book 10/10.Even though it has a few boring chapters it is still worthy of five stars.In short this is a great story of adventure and bravery and I feel sorry for anyone who has no intention of reading this brilliant book.
