Daughter of the Goddess LandsDaughter of the Goddess Lands by Sandra Saidak

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have to admit that this is one of the most intriguing historical novels I have ever read. I do not believe I have ever read anything prehistoric, and the author certainly painted the time period and the peoples quite well. The barbarism often stifled my imagination–I was practically incapable of putting myself in the position of these Kalie and her people. I do not question that this was the way so much was back in that time period. Kalie was quite intriguing, and by the end of the book, I was definitely wanting more. What she was willing to do in the harshest of situations was quite amazing and laudable. She is the heroine of this saga.

I am happy to report that there is no real profanity within this tale, and all the intimate scenes are implied. The reader will find many instances of rape, incest, and even homosexuality implied within the pages of the story. To be honest, none of that bothered me as the author was kind enough to leave out the details. In the beginning to about the middle of the book, I found the story to be a bit lagging. I was not certain I would ever connect with Kalie and her plight. By the end, I was definitely hooked, and I would be willing to read the next book in the series.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
