The Saxon Outlaw’s Revenge by Elisabeth Hobbes
The Saxon Outlaw’s Revenge by Elisabeth Hobbes is the first book in the Conquest of England series and the 5th book I read by Elisabeth. I’ve reserved the second book in the series, so I’m going to read and blog about that one pretty soon, maybe next month. I like her books because they are so nicely written, she is not shying away from making her characters a bit more “damaged”, but that makes them and the story more real. I liked this book as much as I liked the other ones.
In the Saxon Outlaw’s Revenge, Elisabeth shares the story of Constance Arnaud and Aelric, a Saxon outlaw (as the name of the book suggests) that abducted her. They had a history 7 years before, but both went through some rather gruesome experiences. Nothing that wouldn’t have happened in 11th century England. There are some twists in the story, so it is not very predictable. The book can be read as a stand alone novel.
