Subject: The Dark Mirror by Juliet Marillier

I just can't say enough good stuff about this book. If you're a Martin fan, it reminded me of the beginning of Game of Kings, the way the Starks might have lived if all hell hadn't broken loose ontop of them.

However, this is based on fact, set in the Highlands back in Pictish Scotland-druids, faeries, blue tatooed warriors. Remember how Claire says Murtagh had a Pictish face? They were the folk before the Gaels. Yep, the red-heided Gaels are actually the enemy here.

Anyway, its got a great hero. Great heroine. The writing is as compelling as Martin, but not as graphic/brutal. It has that female touch of family and marriage such as DG brings. And the series is done at three. I'm just starting Well of Shades.
