Brethren by Robyn Young
3.0
I'm an avid fan of historical fiction that closely aligns with reported events and accounts in ways that uniquely bring the past the life. That said, Robyn Young became my "favorite author" with the first two installations of the Robert de Bruce "Insurrection Trilogy" and this title further strengthened her this title my mantle.
Brethren was author Young's first mass release. The book is separated in three parts, and particularly I noted that in the last it is very important to note the dates as these pages span almost 5 years.
Young stands unique because her prose has a way to bring alive all five senses -- particularly smell -- at once. It is one of the few books I've encountered where you are sad at every turn of the page because that means you are closer to being done.
I can't wait to read Crusade and of course the hopefully upcoming Book Three of Robert Bruce, "Kingdom."
