Piece Containing Books The Silver Branch (The Dolphin Ring Cycle #2)

The Silver Branch by Rosemary Sutcliff is a wonderful young adult historical adventure novel that I dearly love. There are many reasons why, and I could go on forever about all of them. Instead, I'll jump between a few representative highlights of some elements I appreciate most. My favorite part of this book is most definitely the characters. Flavius and Justin, especially, but also each of their friends - from strange little Cullen to tall and fabulous Evicatos of the Spear, from the great

If I had to point out one aspect of this book that earned it a five-star rating, it would definitely be the friendship between Flavius and Justin. From the moment they met they were inseparable, and they were stationed together, fought together, and suffered together. I think I could get away with calling them brothers. That last battle scene about got me. The imagery was intense, the losses steep, and the reader watched helplessly. Actually, now that I think about it, that could be said for

Magnificently, shiningly glorious.

It's very noticeable, after reading a few of Rosemary Sutcliff's books in close succession, how her protagonists are never the 'strong' ones. In Song For A Dark Queen, it's narrated by the queen's harper, not one of her warriors or a member of her family or the queen herself. And within the context of the narrative, that makes perfect sense, but it's a slightly unexpected choice. In The Eagle Of The Ninth, the protagonist is lame in one leg because of an injury, and therefore struggles with

A great follow up to The Eagle of the Ninth! And I left no time gap in between finishing one and starting the other. Not that The Eagle leaves you hanging. The books are stand-alone action stories, but when you fall in love with an author, her plot and characters, you don't want to waste any time in finding out what happens next; even if it is several generations later.Cleanliness: the word "h*ll" is used twice. Contains some fight scenes and battle sequences - a few are described in sentence

Really enjoyed this book. Some similarities between this and the first, such as unusual friendship between the Roman occupiers and the locals, made it a little less fresh, but then I did read them one after the other. Again it felt authentic, and does , as the forward says, have real historical context. Makes me want to find out more about this period in history.

Intriguing story and style, amazing characters (ahh, my BABIES, Y'ALL), and definitely got my heart going. Another fantastic Sutcliff story!
