pickEnjoyed this immensely. A very accessible and captivating work of Anglo-Saxon historical fiction. I didn't want to put it down! It's the tale of a strong woman in a world of men, amid a brutal time of constant warfare. The publisher compares it to GoT, but I disagree, mainly because it is not graphic. The #galley I read didn't include a historical note. Hopefully one is included in the finished book-that would be my one qualm. #betweentwofires
The_Literary_Jedi If you like Anglo-Saxon historical fiction, try Patricia Bracewell's Emma of Normandy Trilogy. Books 1 & 2 are out now. I read the first, and loved it!![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Shadow on the Crownannahenke @The_Literary_Jedi Yes, really liked that one! Have you read this one? Very good. So is Hild by Nicola Griffith. Those are all more history-heavy than this one. Fascinated by this time!The Forever Queen: Sometimes, a desperate kingdom is in need of one great woman 8y

The_Literary_Jedi I have a copy of The Forever Queen but reading the description, I can't say I remember reading it - all the more reason to break it out. I put The Harrowing on my TBR 😃 8y
