“There comes a point when a man must stand up for what he knows is right regardless of whether it goes against his king.”
Sword of Trust is the long-awaited second novel in the Winds of Change series and it was worth the wait! Medieval is not my era of expertise but I was completely and utterly fascinated by the landscape, characters, and history displayed. It was an age of inconceivable brutality and Costello does not shrink back from that reality, yet with subtle words engaged this reader to the point that I was rather antsy when I had to put the book down.
“The fighting…she’d heard the clang of swords not far from her. Why hadn’t she fled in the opposite direction? Why had she stolen back to see who warred against each other? Because in her optimism, she’d hoped someone had come to rescue her. That someone cared enough that she was missing to come find her. That someone was willing to fight for her.”
I found much depth to Bryce and Deirdre and many others, loving them each for their unique qualities. Faith struggles are on prominent display as well, and hope brought about in a natural way that was quite encouraging. There is one character that stands out robustly in my mind and I sure hope he gets his story someday because what a story it would be. *whispers to the author “Michael, Michael” LOL
If you have not read the first book, Sword of Forgiveness, I recommend doing so as I think it will add context and depth to this one. I highly recommend Sword of Trust! I received an ARC from the author and also purchased a personal copy. No compensation received.
