Summary: A continuation and conclusion with an excellent twist
Review: Pride Of Lions does the seemingly impossible task of continuing the story begun in Lion of Ireland, and does it very well. Centering around Donough, the confused youth's efforts to achieve something similar to the peace and prosperity of his father, while at the same time hoping to gain a name as respected and feared throughout the land. The portrait of an Ireland once again torn by tribal warfare and rife with crime paints a very sad picture when compared with Donough.This happens largely in that he has such overwhelming odds to overcome. He is unable to grasp the same energy and support that Brian was able to nurture over many years into an easily gained kingship (hard-fought, but easily gained). He gets support, yes, but nothing seems to work the way he expects. The entire story is based around his attempts to be his father, and the rather startling choice he makes in lieu of what seems to be his finally achieving his greatest goal after going through so much hardship since the story began. Because of the humanity mrs. Llywelyn plays out so well upon Donough, and the choice he makes (very unconventional way to end a stroy like this), make this a superb read and well worth your money. And sequel skeptics: Never fear, this is the real deal. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: A great follow up, and a quick read
Review: This book was great I read it very quickly I don't think this book can top Lion of Ireland but I don't think it was intended to the book is about Brian Boru's youngest son and how he struggles to live up to his father's impossible achievments. For anyone that has ever felt like they were living in someone elses shadow then I highly recommend this book. And if you read the Lion of Ireland you must be curious as to how life carried on without Brian Boru?!

Summary: not read as yet but hope to one day
Review: This is one of my favorite Authors, if you are Irish, or of that line, buy all of her books right now and save yourself from having to come back over and over like I did. If your not, go find yourself someone Irish to love, your kids will thank you for it. Loved them all so much I bought new copies just to have them. A little bit of history, with a novel built around them. Her style is hard to find anywhere. By the luck of the Irish we got her!
