Summary: The sequel to Lion of Ireland, is not what you might expect
Comment: From the towering heights of Brian Boru to his Son Donough is enough to give your stomach a flip or two. This book is sad in that it expresses so clearly a boy and his destiny. Especially following his famous father. As hard as he tries to do what he can he is predestined to never again repeat the victories of his father, but in addition when he does find his own peronality he then adds critical elements that make this story one that leaves you feeling sad, for his attempts at recreating the past, and not succeeding.
Rating: 5
Summary: Enthralling from cover to cover!
Comment: For those who have read Lion of Ireland, Pride of Lions is a must. The troubled history of the Irish people is beautifully captured, personified in the heartbreaking figure of Donough, son of Brian Boru. Despite tragedy, the irrepressible Irish spirit, always interwoven with druidic influence, shines through. A book you won't want to put down until you've read every word, but will miss as sorely as a good friend when the tale is told.

Summary: minority report
Comment: I guess I am in the minority here since I didn't think this book was anywhere close to Lion of Ireland. While Pride of Lions proves to be very readable and somewhat interesting book, I thought it was pretty lightweight material and it really wasn't that exciting as Lion of Ireland. I supposed there were few good spots but overall, the book slogs through the story.
I think the weakness lies in the length. My paperback version got only 395 pages. This story needs more. But what this story really need was a character, interesting, heroic and true and to be honest, the lead character Donough really don't fit the mode.
While I enjoyed Lion of Ireland, this follow-up book falls short. This doesn't mean you shouldn't read it if you enjoyed the first book. Just be prepared that maybe it won't taste good as it smell.
