Customer Reviews

Great sequel to the others

I read Go Saddle the Sea and Bridle the Wind years ago and didn't even know this third book existed until recently. On finally reading it, it was a very satisfying ending to everything. A great adventure that ties up all its loose ends and is a great snapshot of Spanish life during a difficult historical period. One warning though - there are a lot of deaths. Not saying who, but it could be a bit disturbing.

Interesting and exciting

While out of print, this book is worth looking for. It has a twisting, intriguing plot that winds up to an interesting, happy conclusion, and is full of excitement as well as a lot of fascinating historical details of Spain. It is the third and final book of a series beginning with Go Saddle the Sea, and the second is Bridle the Wind. Read this book and you will want to read the two that came before it.
