The Lightning Horse (Empire at Twilight Book 1) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Kerry Baker

The Lightning Horse by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Lightning Horse by N.L. Holmes is the first book in the Empire at Twilight series. This is a brilliant historical fiction book that really made the pages come alive. I didn’t really know what to expect when I started this book but knew that I was intrigued by the description. I never expected to be transported to an ancient time and pulled into a story that I honestly couldn’t put down.
The author has done an amazing job with this book – I could so easily picture everything she was describing as if I were right there in the story. It really helped to give a sense as to what this time period would have felt like. I loved the political aspect to it – the plot against the King, the mission to uncover it all – but I also really liked the more pulled back, family aspect. It gave an additional level to the book that for me really made it what it is.
If you love this genre, or even if you just want something new, then I would definitely recommend reading this book!
