Romance: Medieval Scottish Pseudohistory.
Charlie is really Charlotte, and she has to save her unworldly
father from the usurper king who is convinced he holds mystical powers
or alchemical abilities. But she's just a young girl - what can she do
alone? Enter a huge brawny stereotypical Scottish berserker, who is
totally flummoxed by this chit of an outspoken and educated and warlike
girl.
The backstory is part of a 4-book series, of which this is the
3rd. Honestly, it didn't much seem to matter. Other characters were
broadly hinted at having interesting backstories or character arcs, but
they didn't interest me. This was fun, but not enough to hunt down the
others.
I had hoped that Charlie would spend a bit more time being Charlie,
but even as a girl, she was fearsome and a fearless fighter. Being the
type of book that it is, I have to say it wasn't exactly realistic on
the points of fighting or the damage sustained by fights, but I do give
the author props for not being afraid to bruise up her heroine's face.
Amusing and diverting.
