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

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

I think I’ve found my new favorite author! The Lightning Horse (Empire at Twilight Book 1) by N.L. Holmes is a fantastic historical fiction set in the ancient empire located in what is now Turkey. The story centers around a young Hittite charioteer whose father is killed and grandfather is injured in a chariot accident, and it is up to him to find the truth and settle the score. This book is full of twists and turns and rich with history, and I am here for it. If you are into historical fiction or love horses, you will love the realistic descriptions that the author brings to life within the pages. The best part about it all, for a history junkie like me, is that the author is an archaeologist and historian who has taught at the collegiate level, so you know everything has been thoroughly researched and the descriptions dependable. I am stoked that this is the first book in this series, and I will be looking for more. I recommend this book and author with 5 stars.
