A portal closed for 2,000 years. An ancient religion twisted by modern greed. A love that crosses the centuries. An ancient druid pendant shows archaeologist Janet visions of Roman soldier Trajan. The visions are of danger, death, and love—but are they a promise or a curse? Her fiancé Daman abandons her before the wedding, her beloved museum is ransacked, and a robed man vanishes before her eyes. Haunted by visions of a time she knows long gone, Janet teeters on the edge of a breakdown. In the shadow of Hadrian’s Wall and 2,000 years back in time, Janet’s past and present collide. Daman has vowed to drive the invaders from the shores of Britain and march his barbarian hordes to Rome. Trajan swears vengeance against the man who threatens both his loves—Janet and the Empire. Time is running out—for everyone.

I love a novel where everything falls into sync.

2018年12月13日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

At heart this is a romantic-action-historical novel, The love story is between Janet, a modern woman fresh out of an abusive relationship, and Trajan, a Roman Commander. This should be disaster waiting to happen, but for several things.
First is the characters have depth.
Janet might be reluctant to open her heart to a man after being beaten by her last boyfriend, that doesn't mean she won't use her charms to lure a barbarian away, then bash his head in.
Trajan might be a proud Roman with no qualms about the place sex plays in Roman Society, but he exemplifies the phrase, “Quiet Confidence”. He has proved himself to his own self. So when he thinks a Goddess, Janet has come down to save him and then acts in a way that is unRoman towards him, it intrigues him rather than hurt his pride.
The second thing that makes the love story work is the setting.
Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Historical fiction is categorized as having the setting be as important as the characters. The love story worked as it took place on the northern edge of Roman Britain. If Janet had been plunked into the heart of Commodus' Rome the love story wouldn't have worked. Out on the border between the Romans and the Pict tribes, there was much less need for formalities.
The third thing that makes the love story work is the action.
There is plenty of action. This is the love story the writers of Raiders of the Lost Ark wanted to have. Luckily, Janet does a lot more than shout out, “Indy!” She'll bash skulls with Trajan if need be. So in between the fighting for their lives, they can really be themselves.
Finally, The Druid time-travel Portal itself plays a big part of the romance.
Not only do all these elements play a huge part in the romance, but if any of them were changed even slightly it would completely change the book.
Like I said I love a novel where everything falls in sync.
I'm giving it four stars because it hit all the right notes, and an extra one because everything worked well together. Overall Five stars.

Just a note on the historical accuracy, I'm not a historian but I like to think I have a good knowledge of history and I learned several things.
For instance, I've often run across the saying, “Little is known about Britain between the end of the Roman Empire and the Anglo-Saxon invasion because the Celts had no written language.” Then right off the bat is a pendent with Celtic writing on it. I looked it up and the Celts had indeed written about 400 books in their language between the 1st and 9th centuries. Not as many as Asimov wrote by himself but still evidence the Celts had a written language. There were a few other times I ran into things like that and looking it up the author was correct.

A Magical, Roman Era, Time-Travel Romance

2017年5月30日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

"History may be just bones and ruins to you, but it is people, Janet. People loving, hurting, and dying.”

This is a story about love and time-travel, evil gods and evil people, magical and mundane events, all woven tightly into a brilliant multi-hued tapestry. Janet is an archaeologist working in a small museum at Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. She was raised by nuns (this was something I raised an eyebrow at, but one assumes they got legal custody of her somehow) having been abandoned by her unknown parents. Her heart broken by her last, violent, boyfriend Daman, she starts having dreams of a Roman soldier following a break-in at her museum. Trajan is in deadly danger and she wishes she could help him. Then a portal opens her way to the distant past and she finds herself in Roman Britain.

What I loved most about this book is it highlights the way that when we look at the past, we often do so with a very patronising and diminishing filter. We really do forget that history is about what happened to real people living their real lives against incredible odds, with much less in the way of technology, but with just as much intelligence, skill and imagination as we have today - often more. This is a book that is about our concept of history as much as about the fictional events it describes and it makes a reader stop, think and question those kinds of assumption.

'That he had never heard of TV didn’t make her brighter or better. It wasn’t as if she could build one. She doubted she could even explain how it worked.'

The writing is good and the pace cracking - I found it hard to drag myself away from wanting to turn the next page. The characters are all well thought out and very convincing - even the evil Daman avoids being a stereotype and although unexplored in depth, the reader is left with a sense that he is in some ways as much a victim of events as those he persecutes. The clever blending of mythology, magic and hard history is truly a potent mix.

I really enjoyed the historical detail which is slipped into the story not in any heavy-handed way, but lightly in small daubs and dashes, where appropriate and fitting, to flesh-out the story and give depth and substance to the world in which the events unfold. But this is not straight-up history as much as it strives for - and to a high degree achieves - a sense of period verisimilitude. This is a fantasy, with all the potential of magic, with dark gods and soul stealing, mystical visions and of course, time travel.

“Without you, I’ll have to settle for some local girl—and who could measure up to a time-travelling goddess?”

So what if anything, is there not to like? Well for me very little. The only issue I had was with the classic romance format of Janet and Trajan's relationship. I don't normally read romance stories for this very reason as I never really understand why a romance has to be written that way. There has always to be inevitable misunderstandings and both people having some illogical internal dialogue in which they create false assumptions around the behaviour and words of the other - and then refuse to speak of it when one word or two would resolve the problem between them. Maybe that is how some people run their romances in real life, but to me, it always comes over as just a device to create tension in the story. But that is still a very minor gripe against the richly woven back-cloth to that romance and it is not there in sufficient quantity to spoil an otherwise wonderful read for me.

I loved this book. I'd recommend it especially to those who enjoy time-travel romance stories, as Cindy Tomamichel is giving Diana Gabaldon a run for her money. But I would also recommend it highly to those who enjoy a good historical read with added magic and anyone who enjoys Roman era books of all varieties.

Get swept away by this romantic adventure!

This is a rollicking good time-travel fantasy with adventure, romance and a good bit of history thrown in. I was invested in the characters and totally swept up in their helter-skelter journey through Roman- Britain. The plot is well structured and the writing flows easily, drawing you in for an effortless read. Recommended!

Druid’s Portal is a fun romp through time toward a steamy romance, where Celtic myth meets Roman bravado.

2018年3月7日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I was keen to read Druid’s Portal because I love stories about time-travel. And, who doesn’t like ancient Rome or stories about Celts and Druids? My favorite is Household Gods, by Judith Tarr and Harry Turtledove. So, I dove right in to Druid’s Portal.

What I got was perhaps heavier on the romance and less on the time-travel, but there are some interesting time-travel concepts at work here, which I fully appreciated. Druid’s Portal is not an Outlander knock-off; instead it is a straightforward portal fiction romance between a Roman soldier and Druid scholar, Janet.

If anything, Druid’s Portal is perhaps too straightforward. There’s no real twist to the tale, no deviation from the standard, steamy romance story. I would have like to have seen the characters a bit more fleshed out. The antagonist needed to be someone who did more than sneer and cackle and call the heroine vulgar names. There was an opportunity to make the villain grounded and real, but it was lost in the twirling mustache and one-dimensional dialogue. Most character choices were made for the convenience of plot, with decisions often running counter to the character – for example, our Roman hero seemed adept at adopting modern morals, rather than acting as a Roman soldier. And Janet, a college professor, doesn’t figure certain things out until well-after an exasperated reader is yelling the answer at her.

I would have also liked to have seen a tighter focus in the narration. It’s written in third-person omniscient (think a camera hovering overhead) which made all the head-hopping a bit difficult. The dialogue, at times was off (though there are some really, really good lines that balance this out) and each character had an odd habit of talking to themselves for long stretches; telling the reader what they were thinking/doing. At the same time, the narration was also distant, quite often using phrases like ‘there was’ or ‘a sound of’ rather than creating an immediacy within the scene.

In general, the book is well researched (there will always be anachronisms that slip by), and I liked the path our heroine took, even if she played the damsel bit a bit too much. However, Janet’s journey changes her, and I quite liked the last bit of the book where the new Janet was on display (though the ending seemed to break a rule, or I was just confused). Druid’s Portal is a fun romp through time toward a steamy romance, where Celtic myth meets Roman bravado. 3 Stars for fans of SF and Time-Travel, 4 for Romance, where character counts less than steamy scenes.

Well written time-travel romance

2021年1月24日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Here is a beautifully written time-travel romance: a story of a modern day young archaeologist, Janet, who has always wondered about a stone in Hadrian's wall with her name carved on it in Roman letters. After the breakup of her engagement and a break-in at her small museum near the wall, she has dreams of a Roman soldier lying near death at the wall. On Samhain at a costume party, the pendant she is wearing activates and she is suddenly in Roman Britain.
There, she meets the Roman. They band together to help each other. She wants to find a time traveling thief and to somehow prevent Trajan, the Roman's death.

As their relationship develops she realizes the truth of Trajan's quote from the book. "History may be just bones and ruins to you, but it is people, Janet. People loving, hurting, and dying.”

The story picks up speed and moves at a page turning pace because there's a time liomit on how long she can stay. When the moment comes, will she be able to leave? If she does, will they ever be together again or will centuries separate them?
Excellent in every way.
