A dynamite 5 Teacups for Kathryn Berryman's Erinland, a totally different fantasy book, nothing like you've ever read before! This book kept me captured and intrigued from cover to cover! If you love time-travel, historical elements, and a fantastical make-believe world, then this is the book for you!
The world-building is very well done in this book, the characters are well-developed and so very unique with their own individual personalities that bring a lot of spark to the page. You will not be displeased with Erinland, I highly recommend this book!
