Praise for Barbara Erskine
The Warrior’s Princess:
‘An engrossing race against time’ Woman and Home
‘This is one of the most gripping page-turners I’ve read’ Sun
Barbara’s many bestsellers:
‘A riveting timeslip novel’ Fanny Blake
‘Her forte is mood, atmosphere and the toe-curling frisson’ Elizabeth Buchan, Sunday Times
‘Stephen King meets Ruth Rendell’ Frank Delaney
‘Barbara Erskine’s storytelling talent is undeniable’ The Times
‘Erskine’s novels offer the reader an intriguing and interesting insight into the day to day lives of women who lived many centuries ago, and whilst the story itself is ficiotn, the characters and places are mainly based on fact, as are some of the events that took place. Erskine is a great historian and by using thses facts in novels she is introducing many people to life long ago.’ Crimesquad.com

I was hooked from the very first page. The tension builds until you almost can't bear to read any more. I had to read it in small chunks until I got to the last 150 pages - when I couldn't bear to put it down until I knew what happened. Jess goes through a traumatic time in her own life and finds herself haunted by Eigon - a princess from Romano Britain - when she escapes from her problems to stay at her sister's Welsh farmhouse. Her pursuit of the truth about Eigon leads her into danger and also to Rome where her sister is staying with a friend. Jess starts to see friends and enemies in a new light. Can she uncover the truth about the present as well as the past? If you like 'Lady of Hay' you will love this. It is Barbara Erskine on top form.

I have read all of Erskines previous books so eagerly await any new offering.
Only trouble is she is so formulaic, its the same novel plot over and over again.I wish for once she would come out of her comfort zone and surprise me.
Good points , learning about Celtic Britain and Roman Times with a mix of early Christianity thrown in.
Bad points, plot all over the place.Characters very annoying and having read so many of her works i sadly guessed most of what was going to happen.The ending after nearly 500 pages was weak.
Ive given it 4 stars because she is a good story teller but Barbara stretch yourself next time and come up with a different plot for once.

I read this book in 1½ days I just couldn't put it down and I agree with the previous reviews that it is as good as Lady of Hay. Look forward to her next book.

enjoyable - sorry for any spoilers
This is the 3rd Barbara Erskine novel that I have read after Lady of Hay and Time's Legacy. I have to say that I enjoyed this one alot more than Time's Legacy. Read more

Disappointing, repetitive and could have been shorter!
I read Daughters of Fire and enjoyed it, as the Romano-Celtic mix fascinates me, but the Warrior's Princess was a complete let-down in my opinion. Read more

Utterly awful drivel
Barbara Erskine has written a couple of excellent books; Lady of Hay being one of them - this tedious outporing of drivel is not one of them. Read more

Fabulous, gripping Barbara Erskine. Best novel since Lady of Hay
If you loved Lady of Hay you will love this book. Once the story starts it grips you to the very end. Read the book in record time and is now doing the rounds in my office. Read more

A battle to get through it...?
