I read it a long time ago and really liked it. It was a time period unknown to me. It made what I've learned in the classroom come to life.

I loved this book when I first read it as a teen! Really excited to re-read this!

Just finished The Edge on the Sword. The author kept my interest right from the start. I thought it was really interesting to read about this period of history that is so far back in time it almost seems like legend. I like the way this author imagined the young life of an amazing queen I had never even heard of and brought her to life. I also like that at the end of the story, she tells some of the facts about what is known of the adult life of Aethelfraed.

She is a real queen? That's cool :-) I haven't gotten to this book yet but I will request it from the library. Is it an exciting story?

I liked it. It is not Lord of the Rings and it doesn't really have much in the way of romance but I liked the way it was written.
