The Circle of Ceridwen by Octavia Randolph Book Review

“The Circle of Ceridwen ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read Lost in the frozen woods, Ceridwen is discovered by the warriors accompanying young Aelfwyn, daughter of a Saxon lord, sold against her will in marriage as part of a peace treaty with a marauding Viking war chief. Their destination is the captured fortress of Four Stones, a ruin holding glittering treasure. There Aelfwyn must keep her vow and wed Yrling – and Ceridwen must do all she can to support her new friend in rebuilding the ravaged village and great hall. But living with the enemy affords Ceridwen unusual freedoms – and unlooked – for conflicts. Amongst them she explores again her own heathen past, and learns to judge each man on his own merits. Yrling’s nephews Sidroc and Toki, both formidable warriors yet as different as night and day, compete to win Ceridwen for their own.

Brief Summary The Circle of Ceridwen by Octavia Randolph

– Its style is accessible and conversational, yet historically evocative. All the semi-literate reviewers confused about the grammar are simply wrong. There are few if any errors in this book. There is a refreshing absence of flamboyance and pompous writing. The prose is easy, flowing and without distraction, a rare treat and the very first necessity for me to love a book. The book has the emotional impact that so few have these days. That’s hard to prove without reading it. It’s a mix of good characters and realism. The story is told in first person. Always a plus in my opinion. You experience ninth century England through the eyes of a young woman named Ceridwin. The characters are likable, believable and relatable, including the supposed “bad guys.” I am one of those readers who demands a likable main character. I simply won’t suffer through a book, no matter how good the story is, if the heroine or hero bores me or ticks me off. Here is a young heroine who is so different from the modern vision of a “strong female heroine.” She is strong and courageous without being divorced from real women. She is emotionally real and does not try to be “everywoman” so that all readers can see themselves in her. She is a distinct character but one you can love with her flaws. The other characters are also well developed and fascinating.
