Kara, Shieldmaiden of Eire (Forerunner Series Book 4) by Jay Veloso Batista – Review by Julie Johnson

Kara Shieldmaiden of Eire by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kara is the focus of this book, while the other characters from this series also receive highlights throughout. Kara is coming of age and her mother and uncle are trying to find her a suitor. She’s not having the ones they are presenting and decides to run away. It’s the adventures that she faces that we read about in this story.
Cub and Thornfinn’s stories are also further developed. There is a lot of action with both of these boys involving trolls, witches, and more!
I enjoyed this book and the series so far. I do get a little bogged down in the multitude of characters introduced. Sometimes it’s difficult for me to keep them straight. This book also talks about certain characters at a time but their stories don’t necessarily always meet up with each other. I have a hard time staying focused on what’s happening with everyone with all the switching back and forth.
If you enjoy stories about Vikings, this series is for you!
