This story takes place in the 1100s. It is about druids from Wales finding America before anyone else. Quite an interesting read - about their adventures.

I enjoyed the first one more. The first 3/4 of this book goes into more details of Madoc's life that were glossed over in the first book, but it was still quite redundant.

As a follow-up to Circle of Stones, I was somewhat disappointed. In fact, I had anticipated this book more than the first, and if I didn't have a hang-up about not reading things out of order, I'd have read it first.
Waldo classically does well with research and combines research with storytelling with skill. However, in this one I was disappointed because I felt too much time was spent with Madoc still in Ireland and Wales, Madoc building his ships, Madoc sailing, and Madoc with his men. So incredibly little is known about this part of history (just enough to confirm it happened), that I feel a lot more story could have been allowed for.
{{SPOILER!!}}
The book ended like a chapter in the middle of the story. Again, so little was known, it seems some sort of ending would have been better than Madoc leaving the American shores without giving in to himself, some knowledge/story of what the men did, etc.
I suppose I was expecting more interaction between the men, natives, and the land.
