It gave me a whole new take on Baba Yaga, one of my favourite folktale witches, and I loved the incorporation of other aspects from folklore. Nice to see that Maguire can stand on his own two feet without a fan fiction basis to start from. As always, hoping to see more....more

It was an incredible and enjoyable read and I look forward to reading more of Lady Trent. I love reading about her life a great deal and adventure memoirs are already of a vast interest to me (in a funny coincidence, I met a real life hero of mine today, Helen Thayer, so apparently my life is telling me to seek adventure), however I must agree with the other reviewers when I say that the ending seemed more than a bit rushed and was not given the attention so fully enriching the rest of the novel.
It really was too bad, because I want a bit more from my favourite novels and this one would have easily been given a five-star rating if the end had been given a modicum of the love shown to the rest of the novel.
Overall, however I would not only highly recommend it, but would recommend the other memoirs in the series, even though I have not read them yet as I enjoyed the voice of Lady Trent and her stories and adventures so very dearly. Yes, more of this please....more
