Product Description

From Library Journal

Neither her training as a warrior or as a sorceress-druid prepares young Aeron Aoibhell for her tragic rise to the throne of Keltia or the price she must pay for her first actions as high queen of a spacefaring, magic-using kingdom. Steeped in Celtic myth, this prequel to The Copper Crown and The Throne of Scone depicts the coming to maturity of a woman destined to bring her people into a larger world. Highly recommended. JC

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Strongest of the series, Feb 27 2002

By	Patrick Erbeck-McKinnion (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Silver Branch (Hardcover)

While this one was published 3rd in the Aeron series, it's actually first in order. The characters are strong, and you see the groundwork for the next two, (Copper Crown and Throne of Scone) The glimpses of Keltic life and culture are also quite well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read!, Feb 8 2002

By	fezabel (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tale Of The Aeron 02 Silver Branch (Paperback)

I have been interested in these books since I first heard about them several years ago. I finally bought The Silver Branch and decided to give them a try. I finished the book in record time and immediately went hunting for the rest of Patricia Kennealy-Morrison's books.

This story is amazing. It's not just the plot, although that gets my highest praise for being so intricate and well-written. But, the world that has been created around the plot is so stunning and beautiful that I can't describe it. You just have to go there for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read, Feb 6 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Tale Of The Aeron 02 Silver Branch (Paperback)

I really loved this book. It is basically a prequel to two other books within this trilogy but it can be read first.
Enough background-- what I really want to say is how much fun this is to read, how smart it is, and how well written it is as well. The characters come to life for the reader and stay with them long after you finish reading the book. Dare I say "a classic"? (NOTE: This is all coming from someone who is not a sci-fi/ fantasy nut but someone who reads all genres of literature.)
