Story moves along nicely and historical tidbits, yet not boring. A good read. I'll be reading more books in this series for sure!

A great novel with interesting historical details. It kept me reading every afternoon just waiting for the next twist. The characters were all interesting, intelligent, and strong. I would definitely recommend it to others.

I gave this book four stars for the great story, interesting historical facts and the lovable characters. I learned so much while being entertained at the same time. I will say that because of the many different nationalities represented (France, Spain, Great Britain, Americans and the native Americans) that I had a little trouble keeping up in the beginning. Also when the writer used French or Spanish she didn't give the interpretation. I love seeing a little French, Spanish etc. in a book if it's VERY common, well known sayings, but I wasn't able to interpret a few of the lines. I have book three to start and I'm very much looking forward to it. I would recommend The Creole Princess to history lovers.

This book tells a fascinating story, regardless of whether or not it has any historical accuracy.  The characters are well developed and the reader can identify with their stories as well as their personalities.  The general course of the story is predictable, but there are enough surprises to keep the reader interested and wanting to know how the story comes out in the end.

The author does a really good job of showing the lives and times of that era. The extensive research necessary to write this story shows in the story line. The story holds your interest right to the very last page. I look forward to reading another book by this author. I give it five stars. SHEILA HUNTINGTON, author of ALWAYS HOLD THE RIBBON.

This is a lovely story with many historical facts and GREAT vocabulary. The descriptions of events and landscape are terrific. I didn't want to put it down. It is a book mainly for women - I cannot see my husband reading it. Order it and enjoy!

The story of Charlemagne's struggle to convert the Saxons of Northern Europe to Christianity  by force in the 770's and the story of Widukind, Duke of the Saxons,  the only one  who out-maneuvered and beat Charlemagne's army on several occasions.  This is a great historical fiction story based on fact.  The writing is very good but frequent grammatical errors should've been caught by proofreaders.  I really enjoyed this book once I really got into it and looked up some of the characters, of which there are a great many.  If you like history, this is a great read.
