Meanwhile Cadwaladr, brother of Prince Owain, has offended and lost some of his manors so he hires Danes from Ireland to regain his lands. Our two brothers land in this mess along with several of Gilbert's staff. The action takes place mostly in Wales and a map is provided to help with the details. I found that this was not as good as the other Cadfael Chronicles, but the lovers do prevail in the end as always! The murder mystery of who killed Bledri was seconded by the invasion of the Danes from Dublin hired by Cadawaldr, brother of Owain to regain his usurped land. However, Owain is not easily intimidated and is not willing to go to war for no reason. I always enjoy the characters and storyline The Summer of the Danes this time, it seemed to ramble more than I would like. Brother Mark has been sent with gifts from his boss to let the new guys know he fully supports them. Since Mark doesn't speak Welsh, Cadfael goes along for the ride. There are politics galore, as the New Boss isn't Welsh and there are Welsh issues. Two brothers are fighting and one comes back with a bunch of Danes to take what he wants. The Danes end up with Mark, Cadfael and a young woman named Hellend as hostages. Thngs happen, some people die, money, power, blah, blah, blah. The hostages are released, the Danes go back to Ireland and Hellend, who was to marry one of the men of the Good Brother, skips out of town to hook up with a big brawny Dane. Cadfael returns to his Abbey and realizes that he hasn't really left the world behind. He still wants to travel. My Thoughts: It wasn't that this was any worse than any of the previous books, but my goodness, I am getting thoroughly tired of these non-Cadfael adventures. Thank goodness there are only 3 more to go. This book did convince me to NOT start another medieval mystery series when The Summer of the Danes finish up this one. I was contemplating the Sister Frevisse series but after barely making it through this book, I've realized I've reached my limit. This was not bad by any means. It was just more of the same. Cadfael is a witness to the events, not an active participant. I am wondering about trying The Summer of the Danes completely different genre to replace these when I'm done. Eh, whatever.
