The Fire of WinterMy Review:
The Fire of Winter tells the story of Lady Macbeth, Gruah. I found it fascinating to have this historical figure to be brought to life. I loved how the author made Gruah as a strong and determined woman. The plot is so well written, I did not want it to end.
I like The Fire of Winter. I would love to read other tales written by D K Marly in the future. I am giving this one four and an half stars. I recommend it for those who love to read historical fiction.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
Thanks so much for hosting The Fire of Winter! So glad you enjoyed it!
