Raging Sea, part 1: Reckonings (The Dragon Dove Chronicles #3) by Kim Iverson Headlee
This is a well written book that remind me of King Authors story's....
This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Headlee and I have to say I enjoyed it even if this isn’t the usual genre that I read. She has given us a story that will pull into the story and hold you there from start to finish. The characters are strong and the story line is great.
This is a story about a man named Angusel who has lost everything important to him from his kin, his clan, and his identity and even his country.

All because he failed his woman and her infant the most important people in his life. Angusel must begin to the journey of rebuilding his life and reclaiming his honor back, his path is filled with danger and some unexpected task and some reckoning that could be unavoidable on the way.
This is a great story and I could probably go on and on but then I will give away the story and we can’t do that. I recommend this book you won’t be disappointed.

The characters are strong and the story line is great. This story is about a man called Angusel who has lost everything important to him from his kin , his clan, and his identity and even his country.

Angusel must begin to the journey of rebuilding his life and reclaim his honor back ,his path is filled with danger and some unexpected task and some reckoning that could be unavoidable on the way .I could go on and tell you what happens next but that would spoil the whole story for you. I highly recommend that you read this great story, because you won't be disappointed.

Kim Iverson Headlee's "Dawnflight," "Morning's Journey," and "Raging Sea: Part I: Reckonings" are the #1, #2, and #3.1 tales in The Dragon's Dove Chronicles. I love this series! So wondrously detailed. It draws you in right from the beginning. Headlee's writing is always so descriptive. She really paints a picture. I could see this as a TV series. Love the historical references. Everything seems true to time period and well-researched.

I wish I'd like this book more. I absolutely loved Dawnflight the first book in the The Dragon Dove Chronicles, in fact it's one of my favourite books. I also enjoyed the sequel Morning's Journey, but this book is just not doing it for me. It's as well written as the previous books I just don't care at all about Angusel as a character. I liked the little bits we saw of Gyan and Arthur and Gawain, and the introduction of Eileann (Elaine) but overall the book didn't grab me as much as the previous books.


I also found the scene in which Angusel realises he's in love (lust?) with Gyan to be really creepy especially given Angusel's age. I could have done without that scene. I hope this won't be a major plot point in the upcoming books because for me this has to be one of the most tiresome aspects of the legends.


I still love Gyan and Arthur and the world Kim Iverson Headlee created but seeing I also didn't particularly enjoy the previously released short story The Challenge I'm not sure if I'll be keeping up with the series.
