Book 3 in this series dealt mainly with Meg's son David, or Daffyd as he became known. She takes a lot of liberty with history and creates her own reality that doesn't match what really happened in our world. I loved the characters Bronwen and Iuean in this one. Too many battles and too many characters and place names to keep straight. Definitely would have liked a printed out map for this one!

This is book 2 of the After Cilmeri series and I loved it just as much as the other books. This time David is trying to escape. With Ieuan wounded and nowhere to go, he tests his time travel theory by jumping off a cliff, Lucky for him, it worked and he is back in the 21st century.
Ieuan is awed by the technology he sees. He gets medical care like he has never seen or imagined. This is where Bronwen is introduced. Between two different time periods, David is a force to be reckoned with.

If only I could go back with David, Anna, Sarah and the rest. I was so happy to find that there was another book after Footsteps in Time. Just the right mix of valiant sword fights, adventure, threatened sabatoge, added to the strangeness of our modern day inventions showing up in the 13th century fight for Wales. LOVED it.

Still reading, a little childish in that is again a book on time travel back to 12 century Wales, but I aqm enjoying this book. Finished it and I truly enjoyed it. It was a little sophamoric but still I love fantasy!

The final volume in the original After Cilmeri trilogy. I enjoyed this story as much as the others. I see that there are a zillion more, which I may or may not read. I bought the entire trilogy and the prequel (written later) through a Bookbub hot deal, and don't know if I will read further. But they are well-written with believable characters, interesting historical information and it's always fun to speculate what might have happened if certain historical characters had lived/died/gotten marri

I can't say enough good things about this series... the way she evokes time and place is nothing short of spooky. You'll be right there with the characters standing on the castle parapets and in the jousting lists, and the time travel element is 100 percent believable. You will love these characters and care what happens to them.
My #1 favorite time travel series.

After reading the first two books, I discovered my library had the next two in their system. I was able to pick this one up today and spent the afternoon reading it.
It's been a long time since I've flown through a series like this. And Prince in Time was better than the previous book. First off I adore the characters and loved getting into the head of one of the 13th century characters. Ieuen was a great addition and I loved his byplay with both David and Bronwen.

I liked this book, but that sentence also comes with pause.
The things that really brought down the wonderful story was;
1. The author continuing to make every single chapter switch perspectives from one of the 3 main characters to the next got confusing to me. I was constantly having to flip back to the chapter start to remind myself who's perspective I was reading now.
2. The portion of the story written in present day was something I got board with. That had so much potential to be interesting, ...more

This is book #2 in the series and the story has evolved deeper and better, with an unexpected twist. David's character is maturing - both as a person and in the expression by the author of who that person is - and we see the teenage boy becoming a man of integrity and a man of power.
I particularly enjoyed the rounding out of Ieuan and the introduction of Bronwen. Other reviewers have expressed concern over the lessening of Anna's role in the story in this book, but I didn't see it that way. Ther ...more

This is the book that really gets into a retelling of history.

While out thwarting the English with his new right hand man, Ieuan, David has to make a split second decision that lands them in the 20th century.
Daffyd now has to help Ieuan navigate the future, explain where he's been to his aunt and figure out how to return to the 13th century all with th ...more

Starting this book I didn't think it would be as good as Footsteps in Time, but was plesently surprised.
This book is really a continuation of the previous book. I highly suggest that a new person to the series read Footsteps in Time and maybe even Daughter of Time before reading. It isn't so much that you won't be able to pick up what is going on (the story line isn't complex and there are not too many characters), but the other books are good and it will add to your overall enjoyment of the boo ...more

Second book in the alternate history where Edward 1 doesn't sweep Welsh rule out of Wales.
It's very good - it's a quick read but quite interesting. I liked how she introduced more characters. The narrative was told from the first person point of view of 3 different characters - sometimes it was hard to remember who was telling the story - but then I was reading the book with kids and cats running around the house. It was good enough that I didn't want to put it down...

This is probably my favorite, so far, of this Welsh time travel series. I enjoy seeing what could have happened if Llewelyn had survived the ambush. (Of course,this could alter the fulfillment of Merlin's prediction of a Welshman - Henry VII - and start of the Tudor line, on the throne.) I liked that when David goes back to current day Pennsylvania (which is where my Welsh ancestors settled)for a short time, he realizes that his family's time travel to 13th century Wales is parallel, and they ha

With two historian parents, Sarah couldn’t help but develop an interest in the past. She went on to get more than enough education herself (in anthropology) and began writing fiction when the stories in her head overflowed and demanded she let them out. While her ancestry is Welsh, she only visited Wales for the first time while in college. She has been in love with the country, language, and peop

“I knew when I asked her to marry me that the chances of her accepting were slim. I accepted that. Her choices, though, are hers alone. We can’t ever have all the information we need, or want, in life. God hasn’t given us that kind of control. In your world, you think you have it, but you don’t, anymore than we do in Wales.”
