PERFECTION!

If you are searching for a merry dance to warm you to the depths of your soul on a cold winter night, this is the book for you. Deinwald is a refreshingly tenderhearted rogue, with a sincere belief in himself as a scoundrel. Philippa is an impulsive and outrageous heronie who can't seem to think before she acts. Together with Deinwald's 9 year old son, theese two will have you clutching your sides, throwing back your head and roaring with laughter. I much enjoyed Deinwald's refusal to be anything but exactly who and what he wanted to be, even when faced with the shock of his life! These characters were vividly alive and enchantingly human. Philippa, Dienwald and the family of St. Erth will remain firmly wrapped around my heart strings for a long time to come.

OUTRAGEOUSLY FUNNY PIECE OF WORK, U'LL BE TICKLED TO DEATH !

The only time I stopped reading this fabulous novel was to wipe the tears of mirth from my eyes. Why ? Because Philippa threw a bucket of water on Dienwald & sent him flying toward a goat, who reared back & kicked him on the thigh. Ms Coulter should be given the lifetime-achievement entertainer award ! Philippa is tall & gangly, saucy, courageous, strong-willed & unruly. Against Dienwald, Edmund (his brat) & the people of his keep, she matched 'em word for word & gradually won their admiration & hearts (although Dienwald is the most reluctant of all). I own 26 - and counting - Coulter books & this one ranks right up there behind my favorite = Moonspun magic (Rafael's obscene molded bread & all that). Graelam & Kassia also show up to my delight & Dienwald's despair. Dienwald is adorable & the nickname 'wench' he gave Philippa is endearing. They still bicker & make up like the odd couple in 'Secret Song' (Another terrific effort). Go to the bookstore, spend 6-7 bucks & get a refund if U feel tricked. This one never ceased to amaze me !

I LOVED THIS BOOK~!!!

This was the first book of Catherine Coulter's that I ever read.. And it was the best~!! I've read this book over 10 times~!!! It's one of those books you just have to re-read over and over again~!!

A thrilling, can't-put-it-down book.

This was a great book with a well written plot and lovable characters including a pet pig named Tupper who doesn't hesitate to jump into battle. I couldn't put it down and continue to read it.

An excellent, humorous read!

This book is one of 5 loosely tied together through the use of the main characters from one story as the minor characters in another. In this case, Kassia and Graelam de Moreton from Fire Song play a minor role. I always wonder what happened to the characters of a good book after the last page, and so I find this snapshot very satisfying. It is fast paced read and very funny in parts. One of the few books ever to actually make me laugh out loud!
